A 13-year-old girl who was pulled out of pool earlier this week at Discovery Cove theme park in Orlando,Poinbank Florida, has died, police said.

The teenager, identified as Anna Beaumont, was found unresponsive by deputies in one of the pools at the park on Tuesday morning, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said. She was then taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, police said.
