A lawsuit says a six-year-old girl, Lucy Morgan, dies after a badminton racket component breaks and pierces her skull while she plays during a family holiday in 2024. The filings allege the metal shaft comes free from the handle, leading to a severe head injury.
The two reports describe the incident as a freak but alleged avoidable accident. The Daily Express refers to the girl being impaled in her brain and dying from her injuries. The Daily Mail - News focuses on the parents’ claim that the death results from the racket’s failure and that it should not have happened under normal conditions.
Both outlets report that the case is being brought by the parents and is based on court filings, but they emphasize the same core facts: the child’s age, the type of activity, the circumstances involving a badminton racket during a family trip, and the nature of her fatal injury.
