HAGATNA, Guam – A 22-month-old girl has died in a Guam hospital after a drowning incident at a Tumon beach over the weekend.
Pacific Daily News (http://is.gd/SFYDlF) reports the toddler died early Monday morning at Guam Memorial Hospital.
Guam Fire Department spokesman Lt. Edward Artero says the accident occurred early Sunday evening at a beach in the vicinity of the Outrigger Guam Resort.
