God love her my heart goes out to her family

Tragic

Heartbreaking😢

Very sad....God bless her....

There are so many children dying in this world but this...this is inexcusable. This is inexcusable that this girl and others like her should die. In medical science we have the power of God but for what if not to save a child's life.

Such a shame. A young life lost.

Poor girl obviously did not receive enough peoples thoughts and prayers to make her life worth saving. Damn you all.

Sad news. RIP

The government of this country is practicing euthanasia by default, utterly disgraceful. Thoughts are with family & friends.

I believe in organ donor cards this young girl may have had a chance of survival if there was more donors, please understand, organs are useless in a dead person and that organ could go on to help others. This is imo my thoughts and if you feel that I'm wrong, I apologise

Poor darling.

We should have an opt out system not an opt in one. Poor little love sincere condolences to her family
