The sweet little girl was possibly the most avid fan of Disney's "Frozen." Her third birthday party was even themed after the hit film. In a Facebook post, Chanel's father, 26-year-old Aaron Garner, wrote:
"My beautiful baby girl daddy and mummy will love you always xxx."
Police reported that there are no suspicious circumstances with regard to Chanel's death. Joe Stone, the family's 28-year-old neighbor, recalled the chaotic aftermath of the incident. He said:
"It all kicked off on Friday night when all these sirens started pulling up outside. I didn't have a clue what was going on, just that it had to be something major. They came one-by-one and were all parked up outside the house. I don't know the family well but when I heard what had happened, I couldn't believe it. It's a real tragedy, especially when she was so young."
On a fundraising page set up to help pay for Chanel's funeral, family friend Chantelle Watson wrote:
"Chanel lost her life in the most sudden and unexpected tragic accident. Shock and sorrow has hit her family and everyone who's even heard about this horrific situation. At only 3 years old, she brought smiles and joy to anyone she met and heaven is so, so lucky to have her."
After just one day, the page had raised almost $2,000.
