(CNN) – A 7-year-old girl from South Carolina died during the first minutes of surgery to remove her tonsils, her parents told WHNS, a CNN affiliate.
Paisley Cogsdill snored when she slept, but she was perfectly healthy, her relatives said, according to WHNS. But his heart suddenly stopped during the operation in Greenwood on Friday.
“Upon entering surgery, I was not afraid,” his grandmother, Mary Beth Truelock, told WHNS. “I was smiling and happy. Nothing was wrong. ”

Paisley, a second grade student, was an active child, according to her obituary, and had an attitude full of joy “in everything she did, from playing T-Ball and Softball to performing Hip-Hop dance routines and gymnastics programs with your friends in Dance Shop and Dance South. ”
A GoFundMe page created to cover funeral expenses had raised more than US $ 30,000 on Tuesday night.
“You don’t understand why these things happen, but we know it was God’s plan,” Truelock told WHNS. “And that is the only thing that can help us, because we know it was God.”
Paisley’s parents hope the autopsy results will provide more information about his death, WHNS reported.
