According to the medical examiner's report, Carsyn Leigh Davis's mother gave her daughter hydroxychloroquine before seeking medical attention when the girl became sick.
Carsyn Leigh Davis, who had a"complex medical history" including an autoimmune disorder known as opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome, died June 23 at 1:06 p.m, according to the medical examiner's report. Davis had turned 17 two days before her death.
Davis began to show symptoms associated with the coronavirus on June 13. Her parents believed her symptoms were a result of a sinus infection, the report states, adding that on June 19, her mother noted the teen looked"gray" while sleeping.
Against medical advice, Davis's mother refused for three days to let her daughter be intubated, the report states. By the time she was intubated on June 22, her condition had deteriorated to such a level that she needed to be airlifted to a pediatric hospital in Miami for emergency treatment.
The First Assembly of God, the First Youth Church, the youth ministry associated with the Davis family's church, and the Davis family did not respond to multiple requests for comment from BuzzFeed News. The circumstances surrounding Davis's death were first reported Sunday by geographer and former Florida Department of Health coronavirus database manager
