FOX NEWS - A 7-year-old girl from Denver passed away on Sunday after falling ill with symptoms of the flu in late December.
Selina Nguyen was admitted to the Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora shortly before Christmas, exhibiting symptoms of the flu as well as a severe fever.
She had been in a coma ever since, Fox 31 reported.
In mid-January, a friend of Selina’s family had told KMGH it was “not looking good” for the girl, despite the hospital’s efforts.
"Selina has now been in Children's Hospital ever since [she was admitted] with no brain activity, and they have done some surgeries, she is breathing but only partially on her own," Berkleigh Warren told the outlet at the time.
Selina’s family ultimately decided to end life support on Sunday, a family friend confirmed.
Warren’s company had also set up a GoFundMe page to cover the family’s funeral costs, with any extra funds being donated to charity.
Selina did not receive a flu shot this year, Fox 31 reports.
