A 4-year-old girl in Oklahoma died after she was electrocuted and couldn’t be revived in what officials say was a tragic accident.

Sheriff’s deputies say 4-year-old Lily Minyard was trying to rescue a puppy behind a dryer when she came into contact with a live wire.

Her mother took her to the nearby town hall to get help. 

Despite the efforts of first responders, she couldn’t be revived.

Lily was taken to the hospital, but the little girl died.

“That’s going to be hard, to not see that smile–that big, beautiful smile and those big, beautiful eyes of hers that lit up every time she would laugh,” Lily’s mother said. “It was kind of hard not to love her. She always wanted hugs.”

The sheriff’s office said the 4-year-old’s death is under investigation by the state medical examiner’s office but all evidence points toward it being a tragic accident.
