She was taken to hospital by ambulance but pronounced dead about 2pm.

An inquest heard Emaan’s cause of death was listed as “features in keeping with crush asphyxia”.

Senior Coroner Darren Salter said the child’s injuries were “non-specific” but were the result of being “trapped or pinned”.

“It is unclear if the injuries were caused when she was within or under the mechanism of the chair or between the chair and the wall,” he said.

Salter ruled the death as an accident.
