Kiara Paolasin was found unresponsive in the waters of the Great Peconic Bay after she went into the water just after 8 a.m. on Saturday, the Southampton Town Police told The Southampton Press.<\/p>\n

The little girl had trekked into the water before she fell in and was pulled by the current of the Sebonac Creek into the Great Peconic Bay, witnesses told the outlet.<\/p>\n

A 16-year-old relative attempted to rescue Paolasin but was unable to because of the current.<\/p>\n

Other family members got the attention of a kayaker who paddled over and pulled the unresponsive little girl out of the water and rowed to shore where first responders were waiting.<\/p>\n

Paolasin was rushed to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
