Lucy was life-flighted to a children’s hospital in Indianapolis where her family says she will never wake up again.
It is unclear what caused Lucy to collapse.
Lucy’s body is now being prepared for organ donation.
‘Over the next few days Lucy’s body will be examined and cared for, and the organs and tissues she no longer needs will be given to help as many people as possible,’ her dad Ryan Nash posted in part on Facebook. ‘Keeping her heart going maximizes the good she can do. All she ever wanted to do was good.’
‘We got 9 years, 56 days of abundant, joyous, carefree and compassionate life together. And despite the unexplainable agony, I’m glad for every hour.’
Not immediately clear is Lucy had previously exhibited symptoms that would’ve indicated jarring health concerns.
