Girl injured in pool accident dies March 21, 2008 Minneapolis (AP) - Abigail Taylor, the 6-year-old girl whose injury in a swimming pool led to federal legislation to make pools safer, died Thursday evening, her attorney said. Bob Bennett, an attorney for the Taylor family, said her parents were with her when she died at Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Abigail was injured when she sat on a pool drain and its powerful suction ripped out part of her intestinal tract on June 29. She underwent transplant surgery at the Nebraska hospital to receive a new small bowel, liver and pancreas. She later suffered setbacks, including a cancerous condition sometimes triggered by organ transplants.
