Blood streaked the edge of an overturned television in the tiny, sparsely furnished living room where 13-month-old Shaun Brown had been playing just hours before.

The Chicago toddler was playing in the upstairs apartment in the 11300 block of South Edbrooke Avenue around 1 p.m. when he "tagged" the TV, which rested atop a narrow wooden stand meant to hold fish tanks, said Michael Jennings, the toddler's cousin.
