DENVER (AP) — A Colorado girl with a rare form of epilepsy whose recovery inspired the name of a medical marijuana oil that drew families to the state has died.
Charlotte Figi died Tuesday April 7 at the age of 13.
Her mother says she died after being hospitalized and treated as a likely coronavirus patient.
Paige Figi said her daughter suffered a seizure Tuesday that resulted in cardiac arrest and respiratory failure.
She tested negative for the coronavirus on her first hospital stay but was still treated as a likely COVID-19 case when she returned after the seizure because her whole family had been sick for a month with suspected coronavirus symptoms.
