Col Al Marri said\nthat a Crime Scene Investigation team responded to a report about a girl who\nhad drowned in her family\u2019s one-metre deep hot tub in the jurisdiction area of\nBur Dubai Police Station. He added that onsite investigations showed the girl had\ndrowned after her hair became entangled in the filter and she was trapped\nunderwater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe young girl\nhad asked for her father\u2019s permission to use the hot tub, However, after\nsometime her father noticed her absence and rushed to the tub to find his poor daughter\nmotionless and pinned at the bottom of the hot tub,\u201d Col Al Marri added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Col Al Marri\nexplained that the hot tub was transferred to the Forensic Science Lab for\nfurther technical investigation by the Forensic Engineering Division, who\ndiscovered that the suction power across the tub\u2019s holes was unequal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that Dubai\nPolice\u2019s forensic team detected an engineering flaw, committed by the manufacture,\nwhere the tub\u2019s drains had caused some strong swirls to effect on the water\nflow dynamic and sucking the hair easily. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s easy\nfor long hair, as well as limbs, jewelry, or pieces of a bathing suit, to\nbecome entangled in a swimming pool filter or drain, which is why children\nshould always<\/em><\/strong> be taught to stay away from drains,\u201d\n\u201cChildren should always be supervised around water bodies especially swimming\npools, hot tubs and open beaches\u201d Col Al Marri concluded. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A 10-year-old European girl drowned in a hot tub when her hair became entangled in the filter and she was trapped underwater.
