It is depressing I guess. Perhaps too depressing. If so then I won't object if Gary wants to take it down.....
The events as they're related here sound impossible -- a softball grounder hit in a fielding drill kills somebody? Screaming line drive, maybe. But the softball's giving up so much energy with each bounce, I don't see how this happens unless there's an undetected pre-existing condition. Poor family.
The autopsy was preformed today and it is just sad. There appears to have been no pre-existing condition but when the ball hit her head it caused her head to jerk and that is what caused the tear.
Brutal.
This is the same way that girl was killed at a Blue Jackets hockey game in Columbus several years ago - high speed impact didn't kill, the snap of the head backwards. What a tragedy.

Prayers for the family. .
How many ground balls are hit every day in little league softball and baseball practices across North America? Sincere condolences to this beautiful little girl's family, and also to whoever the coach or player was who hit the ball. They have to live the rest of their life with this in their mind. Tragic.
The Funeral Home Memorial is here. Sweet kid. Real shame.
