By Chip

Jul. 24th, 2008 -- A 12-year-old girl who had a heart attack on a coaster at Adventuredome has died.

Catlynne Shaw's father, Eric Shaw, said her brain was depleted of oxygen, and it swelled and was too much for her body to handle. She died Tuesday.

Catlynne was in a coma and in critical condition days after the July 17 incident.

After her ride, a portable defibrillator helped stabilize her until paramedics arrived.
