According to the Daily Mail, Illiana Treviño, 11, was rushed to the hospital last week, when she went into cardiac arrest while visiting her best friend's memorial. Her heart rate increased while she was dropping off a teddy bear and flowers at 10-year-old Amerie Jo Garza's memorial.

"Amerie would protect Illiana from bullies and always came to her aid," the girl's mother, Jessica Treviño, shared in a GoFundMe page to raise funds for medical bills. "Her heart can't take the stress and trauma of this past week."
