The light doesn't tell you they've gone off. It tells you there's a fault.

If those wires are related to the airbags or pretensioners, yep.

Crap. Unless the passenger airbag was disconnected. If it wasn't, the
dead child would be a clue as to any previous airbag deployment.
The airbag light is almost certainly down to damaged wiring under the
seats for the seatbelt pretensioners, unless she did have somebody
disconnect a passenger side bag.
