Christian Faith Benge had only one working lung due to a birth defect, and her heart apparently became enlarged as a result, said her mother. The Warren County coroner, Dr. Russell Uptegrove, found that there was "significant abnormality." He said there were no signs of trauma and no drugs were involved. The coroner said it's difficult to determine whether fear played a role. "That's the $20 million question," Uptegrove told The Cincinnati Enquirer on Monday. "It's something we may never know for sure, but because her death involved heart problems, the fear in places like that could have pushed her over the edge, so to speak. ... But I can't say that definitively." The girl was part of a large group visiting the Land of Illusion in Middletown on Friday evening. She collapsed while going through one of the attraction's multiple haunted houses and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalsOwn Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Very sad. I used to live close enough to Land of Illusion to be able to hear all of the screams and sound effects. Never thought someone would die there (although her death clearly isn't the fault of the haunted place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
