*(Via Daily Mail) – A five-year-old girl who complained to her parents a month ago of a headache has died after contracting the coronavirus.
After spending two weeks on a ventilator, Skylar Herbert (pictured above with her parents, LaVondria & Ebbie) died Sunday after testing positive for COVID-19 in March. She later developed a rare form of meningitis and brain swelling.
Her mother LaVondria said Skylar’s improvement had stopped, and that doctors said she was possibly brain dead. ‘We basically just knew she wasn’t coming back to us,’ said the mother.
Skylar, the daughter of Detroit first responders, is believed to be the first child infected with the coronavirus to die in Michigan.
Before her, the youngest person to die from COVID-19 was 20, state health officials say. There have been 31,348 confirmed cases in Michigan of the coronavirus, which has been blamed for 2,389 deaths.
