Salvatore Anello was reportedly holding his 18-month-old granddaughter when she slipped from his hands and fell 150 feet to a cruise ship deck.
A man from Indiana may face negligence charges after dropping his 18-month-old granddaughter from a cruise ship deck in Puerto Rico on Sunday, resulting in the child’s death.
“Essentially, her grandfather lifts her up and puts her on a railing and where he thinks that there is glass there because it’s clear, but it turns out there was no glass there,” he said. “She goes to bang on the glass like she would have at one of those hockey rinks, and the next thing you know, she’s gone.”Authorities said on Monday that they are investigating whether to charge Anello with negligence for dropping the little girl, but his family isn’t blaming him for Chloe’s tragic death.
Puerto Rico Ports Authority spokesman José Carmona told The Associated Press that officials are also investigating whether the window was already opened or if someone had opened it. The AP reported that the child’s family will remain in Puerto Rico until the investigation is complete.
