New details are emerging about the tragic suffocation death of a 7-year-old girl on a Florida beach. Sloan Mattingly and her 9-year-old brother were buried when a six-foot-deep sand hole they were digging collapsed. An eyewitness says the children's father came tantalizingly close to saving her but could not pull her out in time. However, her brother survived and was later released from the hospital. Inside Edition’s Les Trent has more.

Poor father. He must have nightmares because of how close he was to saving her, but just couldn't get there.

Please, please do not dig big holes at the Beach. And please do not leave the holes for unsuspecting people to fall in!

We lived in Florida when I was a child & my mom would say don't dig too deep bc of sand hole collapsing. There should be signs everywhere.

6 foot deep hole they were digging???? What in the world??, who was watching these children? So they basically dug there own grave and no one said anything? As a parent there’s no way I would have been ok with this. RIP little Sloan.

I feel bad. just imagine having a trip at a beach expecting it to be fun and a good time and then this happens. Parents need to be more aware of what could happen tho.

I can't imagine how scared that poor child was for the short time she would have been conscious. This will forever change this family, it will take years to even feel half way normal

This isn’t an isolated event. This recently happened to an adult in Australia who fell into a hole they dug. Was on life support. Awful and sad for this family

I'm from Fort Wayne and I never thought I would see a story on someone from here on Inside Edition. Sloan went to my little brother's school. Yesterday, my brother came home and told me what happened. I just couldn't stop thinking about how tragic it was. Rest in peace Sloan, you will forever be in our memories. Every like on this comment is one prayer for Sloan❤.

R.I.H. Little Sloan, I can't imagine the pain & regret your family is feeling now. Send them comfort from above❤

I’m at the beach a lot where I live. I probably would have hesitated to warn the parents for fear of their reaction- how dare I tell them what not to do on the beach, etc. I will not hesitate next time I see deep holes dug. Even if it means getting verbally abused. RIP Sloan. Fly with the angels.

As a mother it’s my worst fear to lose a child. This is so sad. I had no idea this was an issue at beaches. I just can’t imagine the trauma the family has from experiencing this right in front of them. Prayers of peace and comfort for the family and loved ones. RIP sweet Sloan. I know your flying with the angels. ❤
