Authorities say a girl has died after a brick pillar collapsed onto a hammock at a Des Moines home Saturday.The accident happened at 11:43 a.m. at a home in the 3500 block of Lincoln Place Drive.A police report shows the hammock was on the east side of the home. It had one end attached to a tree and other to a brick column with a light post. The column was about 5 feet high and made of bricks.Eren Sagun told authorities that she was in the hammock when her sister, Peri, jumped into it causing the column to collapse. The bricks collapsed onto Peri Sagun's head.The girls' father attempted CPR and first aid until medics arrived. Peri was taken to Mercy Medical Center but died a short time later.Peri was 13 years old and an 8th-grade honor student. She was supposed to graduate on next Wednesday from St. Augustin Catholic School where she has been a student since kindergarten."She dreamed about sunshine, college, and a career as an interior designer. The glow from Peri was felt when she entered a room, even to those who didn't know her. But anyone who knew her did and will always love her. Her energy, smile, and caring for those close to her will be what is most remembered," reads a statement from the school.Sagun’s classmates and teachers at St. Augustin Catholic School told KCCI they are left asking themselves how this could happen.“There's not one teacher I know who wouldn't, if something happened to a child, wouldn't just try to take their place because, you know, you've lived your life," said Sagun’s teacher, Pat Hogan.Hogan taught Peri's literature and writing classes this year, but has known her since she started at St. Augustin in kindergarten."She was so rule-bound, I mean you just want a whole class like that that never turns sideways, and that's how she was," said Hogan.Hogan described Peri as a talented writer who loved playing volleyball and tennis, with a smile that could light up a room."She was a child that no one ever said anything bad about or she never said anything mean to,” said Hogan. ”She was just a very kind girl."Dr. Nancy Dowdle, principal at St. Augustin, said students and staff are relying on faith to get them through this emotional time."The students were in shock really…and the faculty, too," said Dowdle.Des Moines police do not suspect foul play, and believe the collapsed column was not securely in the ground.Peri would have graduated from eighth grade next week. The school plans to give a diploma to her family, and to honor her at the graduation ceremony.
