Object fell into keg when I was filling it

I was just about to the brim of the keg with my racked beer when my 6yr old accidentally dropped a dice she was playing with inside the keg. Its a pale ale about 6% do you guys think it will contaminate it?

There's probably enough alcohol there to kill anything.

Except the baby-cooties.

More important than adding a die to the beer,

when you say "to the brim", do you mean you're filling your kegs to the very top? Because their needs to be some headspace there. Generally you only want to fill to within 1 to 1/2 inches below the gas tube/port.

cut the gas tube short and you're all good

Yeah, probably no worry. Additionally, if you're force carbonating and its chilled it's much harder for nasties to take off.

I somehow dropped the keg lid into the 2nd beer I kegged. Dunked my arm in starsan up to my armpit and went fishing
