A toddler died after accidentally hanging himself with a window blind cord as he tried to see his friend out of a window, an inquest has heard.
Arthur Winfield was left severely brain-damaged after the accident at his home in Markyate, Hertfordshire, in January and died later in London's Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The two-year-old was found by his mother Emma after he had gone to his bedroom to collect some toy cars, Hatfield Coroner's Court heard.
It is believed Arthur became entangled with the blind cord after standing on a small stool to try and spot his friend out of his bedroom window, the inquest was told.
Hertfordshire Coroner Edward Thomas recorded a verdict of accidental death and told the family there was nothing more they could have done to save the youngster.
