              Girl, 6, dies days after flu diagnosis

              CARY, N.C. -- A 6-year-old Cary girl diagnosed with the flu on Tuesday died Friday night after being rushed by ambulance from her home to WakeMed in Raleigh.


              The sudden death of Emily Muth left her parents and her 8- and 10-year-old brothers shocked and heartbroken.

              "Devastated. How could that even happen? I mean one day she's fine, you know, and I mean she had the fever and she was a little achy," her mother Rhonda Muth told ABC11. "Other than that, I mean, she had had the runny nose and cough like typical, you know, and then she's gone. It's horrible. I don't wish this on anybody."
