She was placed on a ventilator on August 3, a move that came after weeks of "several different respiratory therapies and put on dozens of drugs."
...On September 19, Fagan's dad Brant shared an update in the GoFundMe to announce that she had died.Fagan was found unresponsive by her nurse the night before, and was taken to get a CT scan, which showed that she had a "massive brain bleed."
