The infant was taking part in Mexico’s annual celebration of the deceased when the large stone collapsed on top of her as she was playing.
Mexican families traditionally visit relatives’ graves during the holiday, to clean the sites and place fresh flowers and food nearby.
The child, named as Ana Mariela Gutierrez Gasca, went to the cemetery with her mother in the town of Juventino Rosas, Guanajuato, where the incident occurred.
It appears the girl tried to climb on top of one of the gravestones and it toppled over and compressed her chest.
The girl has since died from her injuries.
Our hearts go out to her family at this sad and difficult time.
