It was God's will that the poor woman be kept alive, so that her baby
could be born, then die.

Baby Born to Brain-Dead Va. Woman Dies
By MATTHEW BARAKAT, Associated Press Writer


McLEAN, Va. - An infant born last month to a severely brain-damaged
mother whose plight touched hearts around the world has died, the
family said Monday.

Susan Anne Catherine Torres, born prematurely on Aug. 2 after her
mother was on life support for three months, died of heart failure
Sunday after emergency surgery to repair a perforated intestine, a
family statement said.

The infant's condition had deteriorated rapidly over the weekend,
according to the family. She died at Children's National Medical
Center in Washington.

Cancer patient Susan Rollin Torres, a 26-year-old researcher at the
National Institutes of Health, suffered a stroke in May after the
melanoma spread to her brain. She was kept alive on life support so
she could deliver the child.
