According to a GoFundMe page posted by a representative for the family, Azriel's parents were told "their daughter had choked on a 'big marshmallow' at the birthday party, fell down, and suffered a severe head injury."
For days, the little girl clung to life.
“All we want is her to wake up and look at us with her beautiful green eyes,” her mother, Iris Estabrooks, said in the days before her daughter's death.
