FUJIMINO, Saitama Prefecture--A 7-year-old girl died Monday after being trapped in a swimming pool filter for about six hours, police said. The girl was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead soon after. One of two lids that normally cover the filter had come unfastened, and it appears that the girl was sucked in. Rescue workers used heavy machinery to crack the pool wall in hopes of saving the child. The girl had gone to the pool with her mother, two brothers and a classmate. Lifeguards had previously warned pool users about the dislodged lid. Police are investigating possible negligence on the part of the pool operator.
