At just 17, Carsyn Leigh Davis had already experienced more challenges than most people face in their entire lives.

“Even through the ravages of Covid, fighting to breathe, she never once shed a tear, complained or expressed fear,” her mother, Carole Brunton Davis, wrote in a statement shared on one of the fundraising pages.

The Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner found that the immunocompromised teen went to a large church party with roughly 100 other children where she did not wear a mask and social distancing was not enforced.

In a scathing write-up on her Florida COVID Victims site, Jones described the church gathering as a “COVID Party.” She alleged that Brunton Davis took Carsyn to the event to “intentionally expose her immuno-compromised daughter to this virus.”.

As Brunton Davis wrote in the statement after Carsyn’s death, the teen did not have an “easy life,” largely because of her health complications.

On June 10, Carsyn was one of dozens of young people who attended the church event mentioned in the report.

The medical examiner wrote that Carsyn’s parents gave her azithromycin as a preventive measure from June 10 to 15.

According to the report, Brunton Davis is a nurse and a man identified as Carsyn’s father is a physician assistant.

Then on June 19, Brunton Davis noticed that Carsyn “looked ‘gray’ ” as she slept, prompting the mother to hook her daughter up to oxygen normally used by Carsyn’s grandfather, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD.

Carsyn’s parents declined to have her intubated, and she instead started receiving plasma therapy, the report said.

But by June 22, her condition wasn’t improving and “intubation was required,” the medical examiner wrote.

Despite “aggressive therapy and maneuvers,” Carsyn still didn’t get better, leading Brunton Davis to request “heroic efforts” even knowing that her daughter “had low chance of meaningful survival,” according to the report.

“We are incredibly saddened by her passing at this young age, but are comforted that she is pain free,” Brunton Davis wrote in the GoFundMe statement.
