A funeral service has been set for Abigail Taylor, the six-year-old girl whose intestines were sucked out by a pool drain and died Thursday evening at a Nebraska hospital.

The girl had surgery to receive a new small bowel, liver and pancreas, but complications from the transplant occurred. She was injured June 29 when suction from a pool drain she sat on ripped out her entrails at the Minneapolis Golf Club in the suburb of St. Louis Park.

Following the incident, her parents, Scott and Katey Taylor, pushed for legislation to prevent such accidents in the future. Last December, Congress approved legislation to ban the manufacture, sale or distribution of drain covers that don't meet anti-entrapment safety standards.

"They have held up and been held up for such a tough, tough road. I just feel terrible for them," said State Sen. Geoff Michel to AP after the news of Abigail's death broke.

She is not the only child hurt by poorly designed pool drains. The 7-year old granddaughter of former Secretary of State James Baker drowned in a swimming pool in 2002, after she was pinned by a drain. Subsequent pressure led to the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act.

The girl is being held at Washburn-Mcreavy Chapel in Edina. Visitation is Wednesday from 5 to 8 p.m., while the funeral is scheduled for Thursday at 11 a.m. at Church of St. Thomas the Apostle in Minneapolis.
