Thanks. From Wiki:

According to court documents,[15] McMath was admitted to Children’s Hospital Oakland on December 9, 2013, for an adenotonsillectomy, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and submucous resection of bilateral inferior turbinates. It was hoped these procedures would provide improved airflow during her sleep at night. The hospital described these procedures as complicated. The family described the surgery as a routine tonsillectomy in media reports.[16][17]

After the surgeries were performed, McMath was conscious and according to her mother, Latasha “Nailah” Winkfield,[17][18][19] asked for a Popsicle while in the recovery room.[20] The Family took the Christmas tree from the hall way and put it in jahi’s room. The hospital staff had warned the family several times to stop being loud and people were complaining and that the family was asked to leave. She was given McDonalds hamburger by her family because she was hungry after being warned by hospital staff , no solid food orders. After eating she started to cough up blood. Her grandma, started to suction out her mouth causing it to bleed. This caused the child to go into cardiac arrest. On December 9, 2013, McMath suffered massive blood loss and consequent cardiac arrest. According to McMath’s doctors at Children’s Hospital Oakland, the loss of blood circulation caused whole brain death. On December 12, 2013, her doctors declared her brain-dead.[3] Her family was informed that she was legally dead,[21] and that as a result, life support systems would be discontinued.[15] Her family refused to accept the medical declaration of death by neurological criteria, said that McMath was not dead, and initiated legal proceedings in an effort to require the hospital to continue treatment.[6][22][23][24][25][26]
