SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — An 18-month-old Indiana girl has died after falling out of a window of a cruise ship on Sunday docked in Puerto Rico, authorities said.

The girl’s grandfather, Salvatorre Anello, was holding her outside a window on the ‘Freedom of the Seas’ cruise ship, a Royal Caribbean International line. The grandfather said he accidentally lost his grip and dropped her from an 11th story window.
