She drove off shortly after. Neighbors were saddened to hear about the child’s death. “That is pitiful, very pitiful,” said area resident Betty Hammond. “I wonder how the parents are taking that, you know? Back at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, people who appear to be family members anxiously awaited near the entrance to the emergency room.
