The mother of a six-year-old girl
who drowned Wednesday at the beach is being probed for
manslaughter, sources said Friday.
The child named as Nicole drowned on a beach at Pineto near
Teramo in Abruzzo after going for a swim while her mother
watched her from her beach umbrella.
A beachgoer raised the alarm after noticing the child
floating a few meters from the shore.
Medical rescuers rushed to the scene and tried to
resuscitate her as a helicopter stood by to airlift her to
hospital in Pescara.
All efforts to reanimate her were in vain.
