The representative for the family stated that “she passed away the instant the machine was turned off.”
Isabella Stark was only cared for by her family for fifteen months until she died suddenly. The family had no choice but to stop the child’s breathing when they witnessed her choke in front of them.
“God gave us an angel as a gift. Isabella was her name. She is now with Jesus after leaving us, “Joshua Leon Stark, the child’s distraught father, said.
On the routine morning of September 13, 2021, Isabella was going about her usual, cheery home life when the tragic course of events started. The infant was navigating the house while chowing down on a macadamia cookie. At some point, Isabella tripped and started screaming, taking a deep breath and inhaling the smashed nuts into her lungs.
The message was posted on the BackaBuddy fundraiser, which was set up to assist the family with the mounting medical expenses. Her alarmed mother started screaming for assistance, and “Isabella’s grandparents came rushing in to see Isabella’s body lifeless and immediately tried to clear her airways and realized that it was too deep in so started doing CPR,” according to the message.
The message added, “During this time, Isabella’s father was contacted and instructed to hasten home from work to get Isabella to the hospital. “Continuous CPR was given to Isabella from the moment she coughed until she arrived at the emergency room for around 15 minutes.”
Joshua shaved his head to demonstrate his support for his infant daughter as she lay unconscious in a hospital bed. A post on the Facebook page for Baby Isabella Stark read, “Isabella’s father Joshua has shaved his head as they had to shave Isabella’s hair, and he wants to show her his support and make sure she isn’t the only one with a shaved head.”
Isabella underwent surgery, and the doctors were able to clear the debris from her tiny lungs. The infant was connected to a machine, which was the only thing keeping her alive, discovered around a week after she choked on the cookie.
Doctors decided to call the family to the hospital and inform them of the situation as it was. Juliet Basson, the family’s publicist, quoted by The Sun, said, “the physicians phoned to advise the family should come to the hospital.” “Her brain was not receiving enough oxygen. Therefore she was on an artificial life-support machine.”
It was decided to turn off Isabella’s life support system, which kept her alive.
Basson continued, “She passed away the instant the machine was turned off.
After the baby’s passing, Joshua posted a statement on Facebook: “We were blessed to have her for 15 months in our life where she ruled our lives, and we loved every moment. Now she is up in heaven watching over us as an angel and keeping us safe, and all we can say is thank you to every person that has been praying or made a contribution. We will let you know what and how. From now on, we will return to the hospital to get all the things we need.
