Despite signs that her daughter had been undergoing diabetic ketoacidosis, the woman took her children on a road trip and the 10-year-old went into a coma and died in the backseat, per a probable cause affidavit.
An investigation found that the woman’s daughter had Type 1 diabetes and was believed to have died from "prolonged diabetic ketoacidosis" — a life-threatening medical emergency that can happen after a person doesn’t receive enough insulin, per Mayo Clinic.
Police said their investigation concluded that “the lack of medical intervention contributed to the child’s death.”
