Today more information about the toddler who died after falling from a cruise ship was released. 

The girl was being carried by her grandfather, as the family sailed aboard the Freedom of the Seas cruise ship. After she slipped from her grandfather’s hands the toddler fell from the 11th floor of the ship to her death. The Freedom of the Seas was docked in Puerto Rico at the time of the tragedy.

The victim was traveling with her parents, siblings, and both sets of grandparents when the tragedy struck, reports CBSNews.com.
