Police are investigating the death of 8-year-old Aliyah Jaico, whose body was found inside a large pipe at a Houston hotel's pool area where she had been swimming with her family. Her death was ruled an accidental drowning, and a lawsuit filed by her mother alleges that the child was sucked into an unsecured opening in the pool's flow system. The hotel, Doubletree by Hilton Houston Brookhollow, and Hilton Worldwide Holdings are named as defendants in the lawsuit.
