The parents of a five-year-old child who died after a television set fell onto him speak about their loss.

THE grieving family of a five-year-old boy who died in a freak accident in Collie yesterday has urged parents to "treasure" their children.

Peter Gelissen was killed at his family home yesterday morning when a television set in his bedroom fell from a chest of drawers and crushed him.

Mother Lee-Ann Gelissen told Channel 9 the family was heartbroken over the tragedy.

"I wouldn't want any person to go through that because it's horrendous," she said.

"It's not something that you want to see happen to your child."

Mrs Gelissen said parents should treasure the time they have with their children.

"Treasure every single second you have with your children because they could be gone, taken so suddenly," she said.

"Treasure them because they're so precious."

Her husband Peter told of his love for his boy.

"Only five, that's the hardest thing, never got a chance," he told Channel 9.

"I love him so much."

A report is being prepared for the State Coroner.
