SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (1010 WINS) — A 6-year-old girl from New York City drowned at a Long Island beach on the Fourth of July while on a holiday outing with her family, police said Monday.<\/p>\n
According to Southampton Town police, the girl was swept from Sebonac Creek into Great Peconic Bay around 8 a.m. Saturday. Police received the 911 call from Sebonac Inlet Road in Southampton.<\/p>\n
The girl was with her family on a Fourth of July trip when she went into the water to retrieve footwear that was floating away, police said. She slipped and was pulled into a current.<\/p>\n
A 16-year-old family member tried to help her but was unable to due to the current, police said. The family managed to get the attention of a kayaker, who paddled over and retrieved the girl from the water.<\/p>\n
The child, identified as Kiara Paolasin, was brought unresponsive back to shore, where police and EMS attempted resuscitation efforts. She was ultimately pronounced dead at Southampton Hospital.<\/p>\n
