Baby Found in Field Among Dead Family Members Dies in Hospital

Source: ABC News

The toddler found among the bodies of her family members in a field outside a home in New Pekin, Ind., that was flattened by a powerful tornado, died today of traumatic brain injuries.

Twenty-month-old Angel Babcock was taken to Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky., Saturday, where she was placed on life support.

Angel's grandparents and doctors took her off life support because of the severity of her brain injuries, and she died at 4:10 p.m. today, according to the coroner.

There was still some ass on the TV the other day saying otherwise. It's real and we are going to keep having global catastrophic events, that only came rarely before, due to it on a regular and seasonal basis.

back together again on the other side. But that's hardly what one could consider "good," when you think of the grandparents and others left behind, on this side, to remember and grieve.

This stuff is just mind-numbingly tragic. Poor little thing. At least her suffering is over. But her grandma's and grandpa's suffering is just beginning.

No good. No good at all. I feel so bad for the elders of that family - all their loved ones taken from them in a single disaster. So instant, and so FINAL. I can't even begin to imagine how much that must hurt. Tornados are equal-opportunity tragedies.

just think the family are now re-united again.

"We were all around the bed, I had my hand on the side of her, and I reached for her hand, and was holding her hand," Babcock said. "I don't know what made me let go but she put her arms straight up, she was daddy's little girl. So daddy picked her up and took her. The whole room seen that. He was just like, standing in front of her. She wanted to go with daddy."
