Parents Priscilla Morse and David Morse are grieving the sudden death of their daughter Gigi.
The 6-year-old, they revealed, did not have the typical symptoms, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, that people associate with COVID-19 before her death in August.
"We had no idea Gigi was sick other than the day before [she died]," David told CNN.
The parents revealed that the 6-year-old had autism, epilepsy and hydrocephalus.
As treatment for hydrocephalus, their daughter had just gotten a shunt to drain extra cerebrospinal fluid, which is what they thought was the cause of their daughter throwing up.
