Following the tragedy, Sloan’s family and loved ones had to deal with the unexpected death of the “purest human being.” Emergency personnel raced to the scene and tried their best to save the twins, but sadly, Sloan did not survive the swiftly sinking hole. Her brother Maddox is in serious condition right now, and we can only pray that he gets well.
This tragic incident brings attention to the significance of beach safety and increases knowledge of the risks associated with big sand holes. Even though it was an unusual accident, it should serve as a reminder that we should cooperate to keep our loved ones and ourselves safe when we are at the beach.
Friends, family, and even complete strangers are lending their support to the Mattingly family during this trying time by sending them words of love and money as the community grieves the loss of this lovely little girl. A GoFundMe page has been established to assist with funeral expenses and provide them with support while they adjust to life without Sloan.
