Grandfather Takes Plea Deal in Toddler's Cruise Ship Death

Salvatore Anello, the Indiana grandfather who has been accused of accidentally dropping his 18-month-old granddaughter out a window to her death on a cruise ship last year, has reportedly entered a guilty plea to negligent homicide. The plea was part of a plea deal he made with authorities in Puerto Rico, where the Royal Caribbean ship was docked in port at the time of the accident. Anello has maintained that he and his granddaughter, Chloe Wiegand, were on the pool deck on the Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas cruise ship last July, and said he thought the window she fell out of was closed. He said when Chloe went to bang on it, she slipped out of his hands and fell from the 11th floor.
