A public security official in Puerto Rico told the Primera Hora newspaper that it happened when the child, 1 1/2 years old, was being held out a window by her grandfather on the 11th deck of the cruise ship docked Sunday in San Juan. According to preliminary information, the girl slipped from his hands, hit the boat and hit the pavement.
She and her family are from Indiana. Father is a cop in South Bend. SB Police chief issued a statement containing condolences and disputes PR police report that grandfather was holding the girl out a window (porthole for Acteaon).
Man, if I was gramps and this happened the way the PR police said it did, I don't think I could live with myself.
