Authorities came to the conclusion on Thursday that a 13-year-old girl’s unresponsive discovery at a marine-themed park in central Florida earlier this week was the result of an accidental drowning.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the girl’s death at a hospital on Wednesday, a day after they found her unresponsive in a pool at Discovery Cove, an Orlando marine park where guests can swim with dolphins and tropical fish.
