According to the GoFundMe page that was created for Mirranda: "At the end of Allison's birthday, Mirranda ran to the living room. Big eyes, no sound. Time stood still. Those were the last moments before Mirranda fell to the ground; they checked her mouth, but saw nothing; Patrick started resuscitating her. The ambulance arrived. Mirranda's heart stopped beating."
