Officials said a 7-year-old girl died, while she was digging with her brother on a beach in Florida, she buried the pair in the sand, the officials said-one of the examples in which one of the examples in which such an episode changes fatal in the United States every year in the United States.
The girl, about 30 miles north of Slone Mattingly, Miami, was on leave with her family from Indiana in Lodardel-Bai-D-C, and was playing in sand with her 9-year-old brother, Madox, when she got stuck on Tuesday afternoon, the Broward County Sheriff Office said in a statement.
A coastal city was on leave with his family from Indiana in Lauderdel-Bai-C, about 30 miles from Slone Mattingly Miami, and was playing in sand with his 9-year-old brother, Madox, when he got stuck on Tuesday afternoon, Browdard County Sheriff Office said in a statement.
In 911 calls issued by Sheriff’s office, Beachgoers can be heard shouting as a breath woman, who describes herself as a registered nurse, tells the operator that “the sand is a little girl buried in the sand.” The girl’s father shouted for help, and people were trying to dig it, the woman says. She says that she could not see any part of the girl’s body. “Mother’s screaming,” is my daughter’s there, “she says.
The footage appeared to show other congested beaches around the sand hole, trying to dig the girl before the rescue team arrived. The other 911 callers looked upset as they described the frantic scene.
Sandra King, a spokesman at Pompeano Beach Fire Rescue, said the rescue team was called to the beach at around 3:15 pm and many adults were trying to dig two children from the hole, which was about 4 to 5 feet wide. He said that the boy was buried to his chest, and the girl was completely under the sand. Rescuers secured the edges of the hole to prevent them from falling more and managed to remove both of them.
The rescue team tried to revive the girl who had no pulse, as they took her to a hospital, where, Sheriff’s office said, she was later declared dead. The boy was uninhabited, the king said. “The scene was very, very painful, and the parents were absolutely historical, wisely,” he said. “They are to enjoy a day on the beach, and it is a terrible tragedy.”
The Sheriff Office is investigating the death of the girl. The king said that it would be involved to see how the hole became so big.
Tom Gill, vice -president of the Lifestyle Association of the United States, said that three people of the country are killed every year by dropping sand on the beaches. “Sagar, we always know, there is an incredibly dynamic environment,” he said by phone on Wednesday. “But the sand is quite similar.”
This month, a 2-year-old boy was rescued from a collapsed sand pit on the New Jersey beach, and in May, a teenager was killed when he was buried in several feet of sand inside a hole, dug in a back-dune area in a national park in Northern Carolina. A 2007 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine cited 52 deadly and non -infectious matters across the country in the previous decade.
Gill said that a good rule of thumb is that the smallest person does not dig more holes than the knee, which will join it. Lifegards are cautious to holes that look very large or they need to fill, they said, and played an important role in preventing such accidents and saving the trapped people.
Lauderdale-by-C-C officials on Wednesday did not request information about whether there are lifestyle in its beaches or not. He directed the Sheriff Office to more questions.
The girl’s family also could not be reached immediately on Wednesday.
