By Leesfield & Partners

The 5-year-old girl who was swept into a Sarasota storm drain on Aug. 24 has died from her injuries, according to hospital and law enforcement officials.

Zaria Miller was playing outside with her brothers on Aug. 24 around 6 p.m. when she was sucked down a storm drain following a water main break. The main break, coupled with recent rainfall, caused a current that pulled Zaria down the drain.

She was carried about 100 yards away from where she was playing, according to reporting from The Miami Herald. She was found in a wooded retention area near a local school.
