HOUSTON — Houston police said an 8-year-old girl was found dead inside a pipe in a hotel pool late Saturday night near Highway 290.
This happened at the hotel in northwest Houston. Police said they responded around 5:45 p.m. to a missing person call. Officials said the girl was swimming with other family members in a lazy river style swimming pool at the hotel when she went missing.
Houston police said officers could not find the missing 8-year-old girl so they called for assistance from several agencies, including Texas EquuSearch and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, since they have a bloodhound and a long pole with a camera to help search. That is how the girl was found in the pipe.
Houston firefighters searched the pool and four pipes that lead to the pool, but did not find anything, police said. The pipes are 12 inches in diameter.
Police searched the property, around the area and even checked some rooms, but didn’t find anything.
Police said, when the searchers found the girl in one of the pipes, HFD was called back out to the scene to recover her body. Paramedics pronounced the girl dead.
KHOU 11 News has reached out to the parent company of the hotel for comment.
