The Opelika-Auburn News reports the girl’s body was pulled Saturday from an in-ground container used to trap cooking grease at Brewster’s Real Ice Cream in Auburn.
Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said in a news release that the death appears to be an accidental drowning.
He said video evidence from the scene showed the girl playing with siblings when she apparently fell through a lid covering a grease pit on the ice cream parlor’s property.
ABC NEWS reports Harris as saying that the girl was found several minutes later inside the grease container, which was 6 feet (1.8 meters) deep.
He said no foul play is suspected. The girl’s name was not immediately released.
