Girl Dies After Fall from Carnival Cruise Ship at the Port of Miami
A Girl has died after a fall from a Carnival cruise ship at the Port of Miami. Reports reveal that the 8-year-old girl fell two stories from the interior atrium aboard the Carnival Glory Saturday morning. Shortly after the incident, a retired paramedic started preforming resuscitation efforts. The ship contacted Miami-Dade Fire Rescue which took over resuscitation efforts and transported the child to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead hours later. The Carnival Glory had just returned to the Port of Miami after completing a 7-day Caribbean voyage when the incident occurred. This is the third incident in recent times were a child has fallen over a railing aboard Carnival cruise ship. On August 4th, a three-year-old girl fell from the balcony onto the lido deck aboard the Carnival Breeze. In June, 2016, another three-year-old girl slipped through the rail of a Carnival Liberty ship from the 14th deck to the 12th deck. Thankfully, both children survived those falls.
