Funeral Scheduled For Girl Who Died During Hide-And-Seek

UPDATED: 4:43 pm EDT September 25, 2007

A young girl died during a hide-and-seek game, police said.

Allison Ireland, 10, of Roseville, was playing hide and seek Saturday with her cousins when she got tangled in a belt inside of the closet of her home.

Family members said she possibly hanged herself as she jumped off a box.

Her 3-year-old cousin discovered her.

"We heard him saying, 'Wake up, wake up, Ally. I want to play. I'm here, wake up, Ally.' And he came out and said, 'she won't wake up,'" said Heather Eisler.

"It is a shock. It is a shock. It's the worst thing that could happen. My mom could not even hold her head up," sister Alyssa Eisler said. "It's the worst thing that has ever happened in my life."

Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Thursday at Zion Christian Church in Troy.

Visitation will be from 1-9 p.m. Wednesday at the S.K Schultz Funeral Home in Eastpointe.

People can donate money to the Allison Ireland Memorial Fund at any Lasalle Bank.
