A two-year-old girl who was found barely alive amid the bodies of her parents and siblings after horrific tornadoes hit the United States, died Sunday after a 48-hour fight for life.
Angel Babcock was discovered in a field near her family's home in New Pekin, southern Indiana after Friday's horrific weather and was taken to hospital in neighboring Kentucky where her condition was initially described as critical.
The two-year-old, who becomes the 37th victim of devastating weather that pummeled the country on Friday, had lost her parents, two-month old sister, and three-year-old brother in the storms.
Relatives from her extended family, however, chose to turn off the toddler's life support system on Sunday afternoon, Kentucky Coroner Bob Jones told CNN.
Emergency officials in Indiana confirmed the child's death and said she was the state's 13th fatality, revising down an earlier higher toll of 14.
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels earlier commended action taken before the storms as well as subsequent efforts to support those affected.
