A very young girl who had graced the venue of a party to have some fun, ended up meeting her tragic end after the unfortunate happened.
Azreil Estabrooks
The 11 year old Massachusetts girl, Azriel Estabrooks, who choked on a marshmallow at a birthday party she attended on Saturday has died. The 11 year old girl was found unconscious by a friend who alerted the adults at the party who then called 911.
She died at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence on Friday morning- 6 days after she was found unconscious.
Her mother, Iris Estabrooks, said that she dropped off her daughter at the party and barely an hour later, she got a call from the hosts of the party saying Azriel had passed out.
She said no one knew she was choking and that she was found passed out on the floor by herself.
When paramedics arrived, they found a marshmallow lodged in the girl's throat. A marshmallow is a sugar-based confection that, in its modern form, typically consists of sugar, water and gelatin whipped to a spongy consistency, molded into small cylindrical pieces, and coated with corn starch.
Authorities say no foul play was suspected.
