Indiana boy, 8, dies within hours of catching rare infection that spread to his brain and spine
May 29, 2025
An Indiana boy died hours after he complained of only mild symptoms that ended up being a rare and fatal bacterial infection, his grieving mother revealed. Liam Dahlberg, 8, came home from school complaining of a headache in April, but it wasn’t until the following morning that his mom, Ashlee Dahlberg, realized something was wrong with her usually lively and upbeat son, she told 13WMAZ. She rushed Liam to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with the extremely deadly Haemophilus influenzae type b, also known as “H. Flu” or “Hib.” Hib is a bacterial infection — not a virus — that most children are vaccinated against as babies, but even so, it’s still possible to contract it, especially at younger and much older ages. “Anybody that contracts it usually dies within 24 hours,” the heartbroken mother said. An MRI showed that the infection had spread and was covering the 8-year-old’s brain and spinal cord. “Basically, at that point in time, there was nothing they could do,” Dahlberg revealed. Liam died less than 24 hours after complaining of a headache.
9-Year-Old Fell Asleep While Coming Home from Dental Procedure and Never Woke Up. Inside Her Final Moments
May 30, 2025
New details offer insight into the final moments of a 9-year-old girl who was put under anesthesia for a dental procedure one morning — then was dead hours later. Silvanna Moreno died on March 18 hours after undergoing surgery at Dreamtime Dentistry in Vista, Calif., according to a San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office (SDCME) autopsy report obtained by PEOPLE. Her cause of death was listed as methemoglobinemia in the setting of recent nitrous oxide administration. “The patient was referred to our office for dental treatment under general anesthesia due to her young age and acute situational anxiety,” Dreamtime Dentistry’s Dr. Ryan Watkins said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. Watkins said Silvanna “never exhibited” warning signs of methemoglobinemia, an “extremely rare condition that can occur with nitrous oxide administration,” throughout either the procedure or her recovery. On the drive home, she fell asleep and began snoring loudly, according to the autopsy report. When they got home, she remained asleep and was carried inside and put into bed on her side, where she was monitored. Moreno’s family used her grandma’s blood pressure cuff to check her vitals — and as she remained “unresponsive,” they called 911 at 4:46 p.m. A dispatcher instructed her family to move her from the bed to the floor and start chest compressions until first responders arrived. First responders transported Silvanna to Rady Children’s Hospital in an ambulance and emergency personnel continued chest compressions, supplemental oxygen and other lifesaving measures on the way. She was suffering from asystole, also known as “flat-lining.” Resuscitative efforts ended when heart testing at her bedside showed no cardiac activity.
