A 9-year-old child from Texas who was granted another week on life support after she was declared brain dead last month passed away on Friday in her hospital bed. 

The family's attorney Justin A Moore said in a statement that little Payton Summons passed away around 8.30 pm on Friday at the Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth. "Known by everyone as full of determination and fight, she fought until her heart gave out. After scoring a big win in the Appeals court today, she left us just a few hours later. She showed us how to fight against the odds. #RIPPJ".
