A 6-year-old girl is dead days after a freak accident that saw her brother’s badminton racket break sending a metal shaft piercing her skull.
The children were on a lakeside family vacation in Limerick when tragedy struck on June 1.
Lucy Morgan’s skull was pierced by a metal shaft from the broken racket and she sustained a fatal brain injury.
The girl passed at the Maine Medical Center in Portland early Wednesday surrounded by her parents and three siblings.
“This is such a sad, tragic situation,” Maine State Police said. “Our hearts break for the family.”
A GoFundMe to help the grieving family with Lucy’s funeral has raised more than $93,000.
Her father thanked well-wishers who sent the family hundreds of supportive messages.
“Ninety percent of the messages I get I have no idea who they are from. You are amazing people used by God to bring comfort,” Jesse Morgan said.
