A toddler was killed after she slipped out of her grandfather’s hands and fell from the window of a cruise ship to the dock below.

The girl—thought to be aged between one and two—was traveling with her family from America. She fell an estimated 11 stories from the Freedom of the Seas as it was docked in Puerto Rico, according to local reports.
