A 51-year-old man from Indiana charged with negligent homicide in his granddaughter’s fatal plunge from a cruise ship docked in Puerto Rico insists he didn’t realize an 11th-floor window was open before the 18-month-old fell.
Salvatore Anello told “CBS This Morning” that Chloe Wiegand fell to her death back in July after he lifted her to a window on the Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas so she could bang on the glass like she did at hockey games.
The family is planning to sue Royal Caribbean.
