Horror: An 8-Year-Old Girl Drowns After Being Sucked Into A Pool Pipe At A Doubletree By Hilton
An 8-year-old girl drowns after getting sucked into a 1-foot-wide pipe in a pool at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Houston, Texas. The girl was reported missing after her parents could not find her. Search and recovery organization Equusearch arrived and was dumbfounded about the girl's disappearance. The Houston Fire Department then inspected multiple pipes in the pool and couldn't find anything. The officers on the scene then went into the hotel and reviewed camera footage, which showed the girl submerging under the water but never resurfacing.
They then drained the pool and stuck a pole with a camera on the end about 20 feet down a pipe in the pool where they found the girl. Her hand was the first thing that appeared "wedged" deep inside the pipe. According to investigators, the pipe malfunctioned and instead of pumping water out, it was sucking it in. "Many of us had to wipe tears from our eyes," said Equusearch founder Tim Miller. "I never, ever thought in a million years it was going to end up as bad as it ended up…there is a grieving family out there, and it is going to be a long, painful healing process over this one."
