Overview

• The child, identified as Zaria Miller, was playing near a culvert with her brothers in Sarasota when she was pulled underground.
• Heavy rain and a water main break around 6:30 p.m. created a powerful surge that drew her into the drain.
• A passerby and the grandmother called 911, with recordings capturing children screaming and the chaotic scene.
• Firefighters lifted storm grates, found her about 100 yards downstream, performed CPR, and transported her to a hospital.
• Her parents said she died four days later and a GoFundMe was launched to help cover medical and funeral costs.
