"Death by Natural Causes, A Local Teenager's Tragic Death is at the Center of a Landmark Dispute Over the Role of Alternative Medicine", by Nina Shapiro. This article is worth reading, concerns a child who died of asthma, of symptoms that if she had been taken to an ER, she would easily still be alive.

Any of us interested in cases where children die because of their parent's beliefs might find this useful. The church the parents belong to is mentioned, but there is no info on the church doctrine concerning health care.

(The church the family belongs to is at [www.eastsidechurch.org] Eastside Foursquare Church. I know next to nothing about Foursquare theology, it was founded by the evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, I wonder what their teachings are about illness.)
