On the night of the sleepover, Esra’s parent would receive a phone call telling them to pick up their daughter.
The teen was rushed to hospital in an unresponsive state and placed on life support. She would spend a week and a half fighting for her life.
Initially, Esra’s parents were optimistic she would recover until devastatingly, doctors said ‘her brain was damaged beyond repair.’
The family would make the heartbreaking decision to turn off the 13-year-old’s life support.
In the parents’ interview with Ally Langdon on A Current Affair, Paul said: “They’re asking us to bring a family, friends to say goodbye to our 13-year-old daughter.
“It was a very, very difficult thing to do to such a young soul.”
Esra’s parents and siblings ‘cuddled her until the end.’
