Still no answers after death at school

Three weeks after seven-year-old Janelle Smith collapsed and died while playing at school, her family is still left with questions as a recently conducted autopsy was ruled inconclusive.

Janelle's mother, Danay Baker-Smith, told THE STAR that the autopsy was done last Thursday. The distraught mother, who had told THE STAR in an earlier interview that she needed closure in order to deal with her child's death, said yesterday, "We still haven't received any full closure, but we just have to work with it. We still can't even depend on the lab results cause they might not show anything."

Baker-Smith told THE STAR that samples from her daughter's body have been sent to the lab for further testing. She also revealed that Janelle's death certificate lists the cause of her death as 'pending lab results'.

Even though the family is in a great deal of pain, they have decided to bury little Janelle this Saturday.

On March 4, Janelle, a grade-two student of a primary school in St Thomas, collapsed while playing with her friends. The child was taken to the Princess Margaret Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
