Summer is supposed to be a fun time for children out of school. But, for one Texas family the warm season has turned to a parents worse fears. Daily Mail
A six-year-old Texas girl Rebecca Maria Herrera died after crawling inside a large, old-fashioned microwave in the backyard of her home.
Rebecca Maria Herrera, from San Antonio, went missing for several hours on Saturday and police and dozens of volunteers spent hours looking for her until she was found in the microwave. A helicopter was also dispatched.
San Antonio police believe she climbed inside the microwave and somehow became trapped. They said they are investigating the case as an accidental sudden death.
Rebecca is the daughter of John Herrera, an officer for the San Antonio Police Bike Patrol. He was in Florida at the time.
Lt Randy Smith said: 'The whole neighbourhood was helping search. It’s a tight community.'
Stephanie Almendarez and her daughter, who live across the street, held back tears as they watched investigators enter Rebecca's home.
The mother-of-five said: 'I heard somebody yell, "I found her", and then I heard crying. I am shocked. I thought she was OK. I’ve never seen anything like this.'
