I saw this on my FB and I live fairly close to where this girl went to school, Its amazing with 2 hours of just feeling a bit sick and she was GONE!


They say the doctors have no idea, but it also mentioned that they told her father to start calling anyone she is close to...so they must have some idea of what was happening to her, that they felt she was going to die within the hour.

I read that she was a "flyer" and experienced pelvic pain along with the tingling. Makes me wonder if she took a fall or was otherwise injured and it lead to internal bleeding or an organ injury.

I would think a hospital would be able to identify both of those things if they were the cause though, they may not be able to stop it, but they would know what killed her, these doctors still have no idea!

A postmortem should shed some light on what killed her.

She died relatively quickly after her arrival at the hospital. Possibly they had a preliminary idea but not definitive? Articles are saying cause has not been released, makes me think they’re just waiting for coroner confirmation.

No matter what may have happened, it’s terroy sad to me.

Most likely causes of quick death all have to do with rapidly failing circulation- internal bleeding (no report of recent, acute injury; bleeding ulcers unlikely in a 13 y/o), cardiac dysrhythmia (maybe intermittent & recurring- would account for complaints of lite-headedness or nausea) or toxic shock (maybe likely in a young girl less experienced with the intricacies & subtleties of female hygiene? or to a rapid onset UTI, fer instance).


Difficult to say without more info-- everything is rare in a 13 y/o kid-- they're not supposed to get sick at all. Sad.

I'm going to guess flu. It can kill children quickly.

The CDC reported 41 pediatric deaths this season, so far.

Her hands were cold, and her limbs were tingling, apparently.

Sounds like it might be an undiagnosed heart condition. It's hard to believe a cold or flu like illness could take her from well to deceased in a matter of hours.

Then you haven't been paying attention to pediatric flu deaths. Often kills the same day symptoms appear.

You beat me to it, fluffy! Yes, indeed, flu can kill quickly.
