The 3-year-old girl was found outside an ice cream shop near the picnic table. Next to the table is an in-ground grease trap that was six feet in depth.

When first responders got on the scene, they couldn’t revive the girl.
“No foul play is suspected and the death investigation indicates that she drowned in the sludge that was in the six-foot-deep inground container,” Harris told Fox News.
Her mother said the girl was a bundle of joy.
“She would light up a room with her smile; she walked with a skip in her step,” Tracy Andrews said. “She said she was a big sister. That was huge for her to say that. Looking back, it’s as if she knew she wouldn’t need it anymore.”

“A mother and dad should never have to bury their child. Make every moment special with your children — every one. Let them know how much you love them and how much they mean to you,” he told AL.com.
