An Indiana man 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 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 as she did at hockey games.
The 51-year-old Valparaiso man said he was trying to stand her on the window’s railing when she plunged from the open window to the dock far below.
