Local News in Brief : Revived Baby Dies
Amaree Green, the 7-month-old girl who was kept alive last week by a quick-thinking Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy, has died.
Amaree was declared brain dead Wednesday and was disconnected from her respirator Friday afternoon at Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Paula Waulis said.
Sheriff’s Deputy Salvador Velazquez, 29, told Green’s panicked mother over the phone how to give the infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation when Amaree stopped breathing at the family’s Willowbrook home. She began breathing again, but never came out of a coma.
