A 7-year-old girl from McMinnville, TN., is dead, less than five hours after visiting the dentist for a routine procedure.
Dental records show Tyneisha Bell had three teeth extracted and a general anesthesia was used to put her to sleep.
Bell’s guardians, her grandparents, signed a consent form acknowledging the use of anesthesia.
Bell was put down for a nap after the procedure, and at some point stopped breathing.
Paramedics performed CPR. They described Bell’s skin as pinkish, warm and dry. They noticed her swollen larynx.
At this time, investigators have almost completely ruled out child abuse as a cause of death.
