7-Year-Old Girl Dies in Florida Sand Hole Collapse

The tragic incident occurred during a family beach day last month, sparking a call for increased beach safety awareness.

The parents of Sloan Mattingly, a 7-year-old girl, recounted the rapid collapse of a sand hole that led to her death.
Despite being known as 'overprotective,' Sloan's parents never anticipated the danger of a sand hole collapse.
Rescue efforts were made by beachgoers and first responders, but Sloan was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The Mattingly family aims to raise awareness about the hidden dangers of sand holes to prevent future tragedies.
Experts recommend that any hole dug in the sand should be no deeper than the knee of the shortest person digging it.
