Annelise Camp “is now with Jesus,” her parents Johnston and Joy Camp said in a statement, weeks after a judge granted a temporary injunction in their favor. “While our hearts are broken, we trust in His perfect love, His faithfulness, and His promises.”
The family had long said she still showed signs of life and wanted more time for her to recover and explore treatment.
Breathing tubes were removed from Annelise on Monday, her grandfather Steve Camp posted online. “When this procedure was done, she passed very quickly.”
A church service for Annelise is scheduled for next Wednesday in Houston.
The Texas Right to Life organization supported the family's case.
“This victory gave the Camp family two extra months with Annelise and provided her a chance to recover from her injury,” the organization posted online.
Annelise was discovered unconscious in the hotel pool and was brought to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. Several days later, her parents petitioned the judge, requesting that she not be tested for brain death as advised by doctors.
Court documents said Annelise’s heart was beating, although she was dependent on a ventilator, The Texas Tribune reported.
The Camps did not say why Annelise was removed from life support. Messages seeking comment were sent to the family.
