A 10-year-old girl drowned on a cruise ship off the coast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Authorities are currently investigating.
The medical team on the Norwegian Gem tried to revive the girl after she was reported unresponsive on the ship's pool deck on Sunday afternoon, but it was too late.
"After extensive efforts, the guest could not be revived," Norwegian Cruise Line spokeswoman Vanessa Picariello said. "We extend our deepest sympathies to the family during this very difficult time. Norwegian's care team is providing full assistance and support to the family."
The ship left New York on Saturday on a seven-day cruise to Florida and the Bahamas, and the girl drowned when the ship was about 75 miles east of Myrtle Beach.
My Own Thoughts & Opinion
This is a very tragic accident that happened on Sunday and should cause our attention. People should always watch over their children while staying on the cruise. This is because a cruise is not a small boat, and there is a high possibility that kids would like to run around on it which is very dangerous. Adults should always keep their children in sight in case of emergency. We can't afford another young, innocent life to be lost.
