J'zyra Thompson 

19-month-old baby girl identified as J'zyra Thompson has died early Tuesday morning at an apartment complex in northeast Houston after being burned to death in a tragic game while her mother left her home alone with her siblings, ages three to five.



According to the police the baby girl was left home alone by their mother Monday night, while the woman went to work.

Daily Mail reports that while their mother was away the three children started playing with the oven, and around midnight the game took a turn and someone called 911.

Emergency responders who arrived at the scene found abby J'zyra dead, near the oven.

It's unclear whether she had been in the oven or on top of the stove. Apparently, the mother left the three children in the care of her boyfriend while she went to work, but at the point when the accident happened the four were alone.

Both the mother, who is pregnant and has not been identified by name, and her boyfriend were taken to the police station early Tuesday morning for questioning. The mother's three surviving children were placed in protective custody. So far, police have not announced any charges in the case.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help with the funeral costs.
