HOUSTON -- Police in Houston are investigating the death of an 8-year-old girl whose body was found inside a large pipe for a lazy river at a Houston hotel where she'd been swimming with her family.
Aliyah Jaico's death on Saturday was ruled an accidental drowning by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences. It said she died from drowning and mechanical asphyxia, when an object or physical force stops someone from breathing. Her autopsy report is pending.
Police said the girl was found “inside a large pipe in the pool area” and was pronounced dead by paramedics.
A lawsuit filed Monday against the hotel by her mother, Jose Daniela Jaico Ahumada, alleges that the child was sucked into an unsecured opening in the pool's flow system that was 12 inches (30 centimeters) to 16 inches (40 centimeters) wide.
