6-Year-Old Dies Following Tragic Pool Accident


Posted on Mar 21, 2008

The young 6-year-old girl who was badly injured in a pool accident last June has died. Abigail Taylor passed away Thursday night at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

Abigail was injured back in June 29 when she was sitting in a wading pool in St. Louis.

Reports are that her parents were with her when she died.

The powerful suction of the drain ripped out part of her intestinal tract in an absolutely tragic accident.

The six-year-old has been in the hospital since December. She had to receive organ transplants to try and be cured of her medical troubles.

She ran into many complications though, as she had to go through several different surgical procedures. She also had to be fed through an intravenous tube.

In the beginning of March, she got the worst news yet when she had to begin chemotherapy. She developed cancer due to the organ transplants.

This story has sparked nationwide interest as many pushed for new safety standards to prevent further accidents.

In December, Congress approved legislation to ban drain covers that do not meet certain safety standards.

Minnesota lawmakers are also looking into new pool safety regulations on the state level.

It is a shame that something terrible has to happen before action is taken and safety regulations are put in place.
