Ifrah's family believe the mirror was not secured. They said it was so heavy her mother and another family member could barely pull it off her.

“We’re pulling through," said Aqib Iftkhar, a cousin of the girl. “Everybody is still grieving, and it’s really hard. We’re in a state of shock.”

In a statement Saturday night, Payless said:

"Our deepest sympathies go out to the family of Ifrah Siddique during this time of incredible loss.

"Out of respect for the family, no further information will be provided at this time."

Witness Latisha Culpatrick said she has a 4-year-old and "had to help."

"I just saw blood, and I thought she just had a seizure or something, but I didn't know it was that bad."
