Homicide teams are investigating the death of a three-year-old at a Cloverdale home last week.
It's a fatality the parents are calling a complete accident.
On Wednesday, Feb. 11, Surrey RCMP was called to the home in the 5800-block of 182 Street and rushed the girl to hospital with undisclosed injuries.
It was there she succumbed to her injuries.
The death was classified as suspicious and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took the lead in the case.
The girl's mother Jennifer Johanson and stepfather Cody Graham told CTV News the death of Charlee was "100 per cent accidental."
Graham said Charlee was too small to reach the bathroom sink, so she stood on a small plastic bin. She jumped down, slipped and smacked her head.
She seemed fine that day, but had a "horrible seizure" the next day.
