Princanna Strain died after a large cabinet fell on her Wednesday.

Her birthday is in two weeks, but Princanna Strain won't be around to blow out her six candles.

The 5-year-old girl died after a large cabinet fell on her Wednesday. Her Waco elementary school spent Thursday mourning her loss.

Investigators said Princanna and several other students were playing in the G.L. Wiley Middle School gym when they crawled into an opening in a cabinet causing it to fall and hit Princanna in the face and head.

"An ambulance was called after they could see she was hurt severely," WISD PIO Officer Dale Caffey. "The student was pronounced dead on arrival at a local hospital."

The students and staff were sharing the middle school temporarily during construction of a new J.H. Hines Elementary School campus.

"The gym teacher said, 'Don't sit on that, you need to get back up in line and get ready to go back to class.' Then she temporarily turned her back to address another group of students who had come into the gym for their next period P.E. class," Caffey said.

No one else was hurt, but the child's death has shaken the school community.

	The child was hurt after she and other children crawled into an opening in a cabinet like this one.

"Callie goes to school with these kids. Immediately she started crying and asking 'Why would God take a little person like that?'" parent Branch Epperson said. "At that moment you don't know what to say your child."

Parents also raised questions about the types of furniture appropriate to have around kids.

"To me, I don't think they should have had that in there, knowing that you have to watch 5-year-olds all the time, knowing that they're going to be curious and climb on stuff," parent Nehkole Smith said.

The school district is now reevaluating the safety of such pieces.

"It was a piece of furniture that turned out to be involved in a very serious incident yesterday, and for that we're very regrettable and those pieces of furniture are being removed," Caffey said.

Counselors were on hand Wednesday and Thursday to help classmates deal with the child's death.
