Hum Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 MIDDLETOWN, Ohio ? A 16-year-old girl collapsed at a haunted house attraction in southwest Ohio and died of a heart abnormality.Christian Faith Benge had only one working lung due to a birth defect, and her heart apparently became enlarged as a result, said her mother. The Warren County coroner, Dr. Russell Uptegrove, found that there was "significant abnormality." He said there were no signs of trauma and no drugs were involved.The coroner said it's difficult to determine whether fear played a role."That's the $20 million question," Uptegrove told The Cincinnati Enquirer on Monday. "It's something we may never know for sure, but because her death involved heart problems, the fear in places like that could have pushed her over the edge, so to speak. ... But I can't say that definitively."The girl was part of a large group visiting the Land of Illusion in Middletown on Friday evening. She collapsed while going through one of the attraction's multiple haunted houses and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.Jean Benge said she performed CPR on her daughter until paramedics arrived and "trusted God." more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetw0lf Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm surprise the paramedics got there before the scum sucking lawyers. Of course the haunted house was at fault for scaring her to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejohnnyq Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Turns out her heart was enlarged to 4 times the normal size and it was a time bomb. There is nothing to blame on the event place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisan Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Turns out her heart was enlarged to 4 times the normal size and it was a time bomb. There is nothing to blame on the event place. While true, with that type of condition she should not have placed herself in this situation. It is a tragedy, and the haunted house likely did not help her situation (considering the chemicals that fear releases it certainly wouldn't help her heart), but I agree in that it is in no way the fault of the haunted house or anyone working there.

DarkyDan Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 "Haunted" Houses.. whilst there can be fun involved, are about as stupid an idea as most ideas in religious texts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
