Olympic skier’s toddler drowns

-

THE 19-month-old daughter of US Olympic skier Bode Miller has drowned in a southern California swimming-pool, authoritie­s said.

Emeline Miller died at a hospital in Orange County, California, on Sunday, the day after paramedics tried unsuccessf­ully to revive her after the drowning incident.

In a video, Emmy, as she was known, was being kissed on the cheek by her mother, Morgan, a profession­al beach volleyball player, as she repeatedly said, “Hi Dada”.

One photo showed her covered in bubbles in a bath and another showed her pushing two dolls in a pink pushchair.

“Never in a million years did we think we would experience a pain like this,” Miller said in the post.
