A 2-year-old girl drowned during a field trip to Snowshoe Mountain Resort in West Virginia. The child went missing around 3 p.m. on the day of the incident, and was found floating facedown in the pool 15 minutes later. She was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced deceased. The West Virginia State Police and resort rangers were involved in the search and rescue efforts. It is believed to have been an accident, and it’s uncertain if anyone will be charged. Drowning is a leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 4, and it can occur silently. The incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of water access for young children. Authorities have not provided further details, and inquiries to both the police and the resort have not been commented on. The child’s death was tragic and highlights the importance of water safety for children.
