“After arriving at the hospital shortly after the phone call our family continued living a nightmare as we were informed that her health and wellbeing had continued to decline in a downward spiral for the worse after suffering from a cardiac arrest.”
The statement added the death is being “investigated as a homicide related to medical procedure” but the family is not willing to share any further details at present as they paid tribute to the “caring and loving free spirit” they have lost.
So far, their fundraising page has reached US$3590 ($5869).
The family also said in their statement: “Her sudden and tragic passing is currently being investigated as a homicide related to a medical procedure that took a turn for the worse. For the privacy of Christina Ashten, our family, and the investigation no other details will be shared at this time. If you knew Ashten you knew that everyone mattered to her.
“She was such a caring and loving free spirit that always took the time to bring a smile to anyone’s face she crossed paths with. She was the kind of person that would kneel down and talk to children at eye level, she searched for the lonely person in the corner and made them feel special as she has such a gift of connecting with people.”
