Texas police investigate after 8-year-old found dead in hotel pool pipe

Aliyah Jaico was swimming with her family at a hotel swimming pool in Texas when she was “violently sucked” into a gap in the pool’s flow system, according to a lawsuit filed by her family. The 8-year-old’s body was found hours after she was reported missing “inside a large pipe in the pool area,”Tuesday, calling the March 23 incident “horrific.” He added: “Her poor little body was contorted when she was sucked into this hole and pipe 20 feet back.

According to the lawsuit, Jaico “loved to swim,” and her mother, Jose Daniela Jaico Ahumada, had rented a room at the hotel that day “to enjoy a day of swimming with her family.”Nava told reporters there was “an issue with the flow of the water” inside the pool which caused Aliyah to be sucked into what the lawsuit describes as an “unsecured open gap.”

The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences has ruled that Aliyah’s death was accidental, saying she died of drowning and mechanical asphyxia, when an object or physical force prevents someone from breathing, Hilton said it “does not own, manage, or control the day-to-day operations of the property and does not employ any of the property’s staff or its third-party operators.”A representative at the DoubleTree by Hilton Houston Brookhollow hotel terminated the phone call twice Wednesday when approached for comment by The Washington Post, saying they were unable to help. A media consultant, which Hilton said represented hotel ownership, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
