Medics have not been able to tell her family why she died

A family have been left devastated after a five-year-old girl collapsed and died suddenly after suffering from a 'sickness bug'. Little Isabella Grace Docherty, known as Bella, had vomited a number of times before she died.

Her dad took her downstairs when she was unable to sleep in an attempt to settle her, but the youngster suddenly collapsed. CPR was performed by her heartbroken parents, but sadly nothing could be done to save her.

Since her death on Monday, February 13, her parents have been trying to find answers as to why she died. A medical examination has come back 'incolclusive.'

Devastated mum Pamela Little, from Newarthill in Scotland, told the Daily Record that she is struggling to come to terms with her daughter's death as they still have no idea why she died.

She said: "Her post-mortem came back as inconclusive. We don't know why this happened and it's killing us inside. We are awaiting results of further tests which we really hope will give us much-needed answers as to what happened to our girl."

Mum-of-three Pamela, 38, said there were no 'red flags' before her daughter's tragic death. "She began vomiting suddenly earlier on in the day but it was nothing majorly concerning," Pamela said.

She continued: "We cancelled her swimming lesson that night as we thought she had picked up a tummy bug because we knew a lot of her friends from nursery had been ill too. She threw up a few more times and was a little agitated but she didn't have a temperature so we weren't worried.

"She was still asking for food, including a McDonald's and was bossing us around. There were no red flags whatsoever."

Pamela said Bella's dad, Brian, took her downstairs after she was struggling to sleep in her bed. She added: "She was slightly unsettled, and wouldn't sleep so he thought he would take her downstairs to see if she would settle on the couch with him.

"At 4am she vomited suddenly and collapsed on the floor. Brian screamed at me to come down me. When I came in he was holding her in his arms. I brushed her hair away from her face and my instincts told me she was gone.

"We phoned for an ambulance and did CPR, a neighbour came to help until paramedics came and after that, it's just a nightmare.

"I just remember seeing her face and realising something bad had happened. Paramedics and doctors did all they could but they couldn't save her."

Last year doctors discovered an abnormality on Bella's brain stem following an MRI scan, however Pamela and Brian were told this was not life threatening and said they do not believe it to have been connected with her death.

Pamela added: "She has some issues with her brain, but nothing that we were told to be worried about. Her behaviour had suddenly changed after she had chicken pox last summer, so she had ct scans and an MRI and they had said there was an abnormality on her brain stem but it wasn't life threatening. Doctors said it could have been something she was born with.

"They didn't no exactly what it was and now they may never find out. She was due to go into the hospital last week as an in patient for some testing but unfortunately, suddenly, she's gone."

Pamela, who is also mum to Leon, 15, and Ellie, 13, said the family's world has been turned upside down by little Bella's death. She said: "We are absolutely broken. Bella was our funny, caring little diva and now we just want the world to know how amazing she was.

"Me and her dad are taking it hour by hour. The kids are devastated. Ellie saw everything so she's pretty traumatised. She shared a room with Bella so she's not came home yet."

What a cutie, but any thing like this begs the question, vaxxed or not vaxxed.

If she was vomiting, they are going to have to perform full toxicology testing, which can take quite a while depending on how busy the labs are in that state.

You are being pinged because this death notice was important enough to have its own thread, so you have to admit, it’s important!




Grim Reaper Approved!

"Her post-mortem came back as inconclusive."

Her post-mortem came back as embarrassing to The Narrative so they decided to say they just had no idea.

Vaxxed or not vaxxed. That’s what I’d like to know.

Well, then I guess it will probably take even longer.

I know a number of people that were stupid enough to vax and booster their young children from Covid. Even though they have a 0.001% chance of dying of it. Covid I mean.

The article refers to a “dad”, but mommy seems to have a different surname from the dead girl- What’s with that? Is dad really a step-dad or boyfriend or biological father? Boyfriends are one of the most common causes of death for unrelated children.

Vomiting, is more likely a food or water borne illness. Or, a parasite

Only because we don’t really know if any death is or is not associated with the jab. And we aren’t trusting the “authorities” to tell us.

I suspect that she had some kind of GI blockage. Just looking at her picture in the article she does not look healthy.

Well perhaps we don’t need FR turning into the obituary site.
