A 10-year-old Massachusetts girl died days after she choked on a carrot at school, according to new reports.
Marilyn Ofobi Korankyewaa was eating the vegetable during snack time at Belmont Community School in Worchester earlier this month when she began to struggle for air, local outlet WCVB 5 reported.
“She ran to the bathroom. Fortunately, she went in there with a friend,” Marilyn’s uncle, Ken Asafo-Adjei, told the station. “So her friend had to rush back to [the teachers] when Marilyn was complaining that she was choking on something.”
School staff administered first aid, called 911 and notified Marilyn’s parents, according to the report.
But Marilyn had already lost consciousness and never regained it. She was pronounced dead at a local hospital on Sept. 17, according to the report.
