A 5-year-old Chicago girl who never awoke from her sedation during a visit to the dentist died at Children’s Memorial Hospital, a hospital official said.
Kindergartner Diamond Brownridge had been in a coma and on life support since the weekend dentist visit, said Julie Pesch, a hospital spokeswoman.
Family members said Diamond received a triple dose of sedatives -- an oral agent, an intravenous drug and nitrous oxide gas -- during Saturday’s dental visit. The girl was having two cavities filled and caps placed on her lower front teeth.
