Ari Buchman, a 10-year-old girl who was on a summer camp sailboat that crashed with a barge near Miami Beach last Monday, has died, her family, synagogue and officials confirmed Sunday. She’s the third child killed in the incident.
She and several other children were part of a summer sailing camp operated by the Miami Yacht Club. The sailboat she was on and a barge collided in Biscayne Bay on July 28, killing two young girls and critically injuring Buchman and a fourth girl.
Mila Yankelevich, 7, the granddaughter of prominent Argentine media producers Cris Morena and Gustavo Yankelevich, drowned soon after impact, investigators said. Thirteen-year-old Erin Ko Han also died by accidental drowning, authorities said.
The fourth girl, an 8-year-old, was released from a local hospital on Thursday.

“On the saddest day of the Jewish calendar,” former Bal Harbour Mayor Gabe Groisman wrote on X, referring to Tisha B’Av, a Jewish day of commemoration that marks the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, which was observed this year on Sunday, “my family mourns the loss of our 10 year-old cousin Arielle, who passed away as a result of a tragic sailboat accident that occurred early in the week.”

The U.S. Coast Guard also confirmed her death, though they did not identify Buchman by name.
“It is with the heavy heart that Coast Guard investigators announce the passing of the 10-year-old child that was in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital. The child passed while surrounded by her immediate family,” Capt. Frank Florio, commanding officer of Coast Guard Sector Miami, said in a statement.

“This devastating news comes after two young sailors lost their lives in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy. Now, with the passing of a third sailor, the entire sailing community is shattered by grief,” she added.
