The family is suing the hotel for more than $1m (£790,000) in damages. Police are also investigating.
An eight-year-old girl died after being 'violently sucked' into piping at a hotel swimming pool, her family has said. Aliyah Jaico had been enjoying a dip with her family at the DoubleTree hotel in Houston, Texas, when the tragedy happened on Saturday 23 March. Lawyers representing the family said she was in the 'lazy river style' pool when she was 'violently sucked into a 12 to 16-inch unsecured gap in the swimming pool flow system'.
In a tribute posted online, Ms Jaico said she was struggling to deal with her loss. She added: 'I hope to see you again one day and you'll keep looking at me and you'll get that big smile that was contagious with joy. You gave yourself to love always with your heart so noble. 'I will love you for all eternity. You are the most beautiful thing god has given me and after every battle we went through together we didn't win this one. Rest in peace my beautiful Wera.
