Edina, MN (KARE-TV) - A little girl who was injured in a horrible pool accident last summer has died.

According to a family attorney, Abigail Taylor passed away Thursday night at a hospital Omaha.

Robert Bennett, the attorney for the Taylor family confirmed Abigail's death to KARE-TV.

Bennett said Abigail's parents were with her when she died at Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

"The world's less better off without Abigail Taylor," Bennett said.

Abigail, of Edina, was injured June 29 when she sat on a wading pool drain at the Minneapolis Golf Club in St. Louis Park and its powerful suction ripped out part of her intestinal tract. (Watch the original story by clicking the video link on the right-hand side of this page.)

The six-year-old had been hospitalized in Omaha since December, where she received a triple-organ transplant in an attempt to repair the damage from the accident. (Read How to Protect Your Children From This Type of Tragedy)

She had suffered a series of setbacks, including 16 surgical procedures, said her father, Scott Taylor.

In early March, she began chemotherapy after doctors concluded that she had likely developed a cancerous condition that is triggered on rare occasions by organ transplants.

After she was injured, her parents, Scott and Katey Taylor, campaigned for legislation that could help prevent similar accidents. In December, Congress approved legislation to ban the manufacture, sale or distribution of drain covers that don't meet anti-entrapment safety standards.

The legislation, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, is named for another victim, the 7-year-old granddaughter of former Secretary of State James Baker. She drowned at a graduation party in 2002, when the suction from a drain pinned her.

Minnesota lawmakers are also considering new pool safety regulations.

Sen. Geoff Michel, who is pushing new pool safety regulations at the state level, called the Taylor's "a very amazing family" after he learned of Abigail's injury.

"They have held up and been held up for such a tough, tough road. I just feel terrible for them," he said.
