Chennai: In what seems like a freak accident, a 14-year-old girl died after  the rope of the swing got entangled in her neck while playing near her house in Chennai’s Ambattur town on Tuesday.

A report in The Times of India identified the teenager as Ashwini, who was studying in Class 10 in a nearby school. She was found lying dead by her mother Latha who had gone to a temple in the nearby town at the time of the incident and returned in the evening. The girl’s father Baskar was at work.
