14-Month-Old Girl Dies After Dental Procedure

A 14-month-old baby girl died Tuesday after being put under anesthesia for a dental crown procedure on teeth that had cavities, according to her mother, Betty Squier.

Daisy Lynn Torres was taken to Austin Children's Dentistry in North Austin for the "routine" dental procedure, but halfway through the treatment, her mother was informed that a complication had occurred and an ambulance was on the way to take her daughter to the hospital.

Within a few hours, Daisy Lynn was pronounced dead – leaving her family in a state of shock and confusion.

A toxicology report determining the official cause of death will not be ready for weeks, PEOPLE has confirmed with the Travis County medical examiner's office.

Lara Anton, the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners spokeswoman, says they have opened an investigation into Daisy Lynn's death.

"We are feeling numb and lost and pained," the grieving mother, 26, tells PEOPLE. "We just want some answers. You trust your doctors, your dentists, thinking they know best."

She adds, "You don't take your child into the dentist thinking it will be the last time you see them alive."

Squier and her husband, Elizandro Torres, have been replaying Tuesday's tragic events over and over in their heads – wondering if there was some way they could have prevented Daisy Lynn's death. 

"I have so much anger," says Squier. "If only we had missed our appointment that day. If only we hadn't set our alarm clocks. If only we had gotten stuck in traffic… What if we had decided not to do the procedure, but you can't go back in time." 

Austin Children's Dentistry spokesperson Sarah Marshall says administering anesthesia in pediatric dentistry is "not uncommon." 

"Often with younger children, anesthesia is the safer route so they are not moving around. There is also less potential for a reaction to pain medication," Marshall tells PEOPLE. "We've never had anything happen like this. It's very tragic. Our thoughts are with the family right now." 

Mother Charged with Murder Ordered Photos with Dead Daughter

A soldier from Fort Bragg charged with murdering her 2-year-old daughter commissioned photos of herself at her daughter's gravesite with a superimposed angelic likeness of her daughter in the background. 

The photos were commissioned a month after the killing, PEOPLE learns. 

Jeanie Ditty, 23, and her boyfriend Zachary Keefer were arrested last week for the murder of Macy Grace. Both are charged with first-degree murder and negligent child abuse inflicting serious bodily injury. 

Police say the child was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in North Carolina on Dec. 2, 2015 where medical staff discovered bruises all over her body.

"It was life threatening injuries consistent with child abuse," Fayetteville Police Department officer Antoine Kincade tells PEOPLE. 

She was then transported to UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill where she died two days later. "An investigation was initiated and it was determined after the autopsy the child died of injuries sustained as a result of the mother Jeanie Ditty and her boyfriend," Kincade says. 

Woman Finds Out She's Pregnant With Triplets the Day of Her Husband's Death

On Feb. 2, 2016, Courtney Hill's "life was turned upside down," her sister Amanda wrote on GoFundMe. Courtney's husband, a Navy veteran named Brian, died in a truck accident that day, and just a few days later, she found out she was pregnant.

The Green Oaks, Illinois, widow told FOX 6 the couple had been trying to have another baby (they have a toddler daughter named Reagan) when Brian died. She took a pregnancy test the day of his wake and was shocked to learn soon after she was actually carrying triplets.
"I haven't had a chance to think what is really happening - and it's happening fast," Hill said, but she was grateful she was able to hold her husband's hand at his wake and tell him they were going to have more children: "I'm excited to have three more smiles that remind me of him."

The babies are due in October and "while we feel extremely blessed, this is overwhelming at the same time," the GoFundMe reads.
