Mother Arrested Following 4-Year-Old’s Death, Police Say
- Dr. Neha Gupta, a pediatrician from Oklahoma City, was taken into custody in connection with the first-degree murder charge related to the drowning of her 4-year-old daughter in El Portal, Florida, on June 27.
- The arrest followed a weeks-long investigation after the child, Aria Talathi, drowned in a pool while staying with her mother at a short-term rental during a South Florida vacation.
- Emergency personnel discovered Aria submerged and unresponsive in the pool around 3:40 a.m. They transported her to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, marking the third child drowning in Florida within a three-week span.
- Authorities indicated that upon her extradition and processing in Miami-Dade County, Gupta is expected to face first-degree murder accusations, while specialists emphasized the necessity of continuous supervision since drowning can happen in as little as one minute of unattended time.
- The case highlights Florida’s highest national child drowning death rate under age five and may prompt reinforced warnings to parents about pool safety and constant child supervision.
