My sincere sympathy for your family's loss.

My younger brother scrambled up an entertainment unit like it was a
mountaineering wall and would've brought the whole thing on top of
him, tv and all, if my mother hadn't been right there when it
happened. She had to throw her weight against the whole thing to get
it back upright once the center of gravity had begun to go in my
brother's direction. I remember the glass knicknacks and things
shattering on the floor. That evening my dad screwed the entertainment
unit and a couple of other pieces of furniture to the walls using
L-braces. It happens more often than you'd think.
