UAE – A 10-year old girl drowned in a hot tub after her hair got entangled in the filter and she was pinned underwater.
The Dubai Police said the tragedy happened in the family's one-metre deep hot tub that had an engineering flaw.
"The young girl had asked for her father's permission to use the hot tub. However, after some time her father noticed her absence and rushed to the tub to find his daughter motionless and pinned at the bottom of the hot tub," said Colonel Ahmad Humaid Al Marri, director of Crime Scene Investigation Centre at the General Department of Forensics and Criminology at Dubai Police.
He warned that children should always be supervised around water bodies especially swimming pools, hot tubs and open beaches to avoid drowning.
