A 6-year-old girl died this week after succumbing to head trauma caused when the errant shaft of a badminton racquet struck her during a family vacation in Maine, police said. The girl, identified as Lucy Morgan of Stockholm, New Jersey, died Wednesday at Maine Medical Center in Portland following the noontime accident on June 1 in Limerick, about 30 miles west of Portland, Maine State Police said.
Jesse Morgan wrote that Lucy suffered hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy, oxygen-depriving brain damage that can be caused by traumatic injury. By Wednesday, he said, it seemed clear she wasn’t coming back. “Given the initial trauma that brought about the global hypoxic brain injury she endured with the severity of the swelling, it was almost certain that she had endured brain death,” Morgan wrote. She was declared dead that morning, he said.
