UPDATE: Brooklyn 7-Year-Old Dead After Reportedly Choking on School Lunch

UPDATE, Monday, Nov. 2: Noelia-Lisa Echavarria has passed away — and her distraught family members are still searching for answers. They told PIX11 they want to know if Echavarria was being properly supervised when she choked, and if anyone called 911 before an EMT driving by the school happened to spot her. Full video report below.

Original story:

Williamsburg resident Noelia-Lisa Echavarria, 7, is believed to have choked on her lunch at Public School 250 last Wednesday, according to a video report from ABC7 — landing her at NYU’s Langone Medical Center on life support, “basically brain dead.”

Echavarria’s mother, Ana, is reportedly beside herself, searching desperately for more details about Wednesday’s events.

“I wish they would... tell me what really happened to my baby,” Ana Echavarria told ABC7 through tears.

In a video interview, the girl’s uncle, Carlos Santiago, repeated what information the family had been given: “My niece was coming out of the lunch room, and they were saying that she was eating a sandwich, and she was choking and holding her throat.”

However, family members told ABC7 they hadn’t been contacted by the school’s principal, Roseann Lacioppa, or offered any real explanation by school officials.

Patch called the school’s main office, but nobody was picking up the phone late Tuesday afternoon.

Devora Kaye, press secretary for the Department of Education, sent us the following statement.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Noelia and her family and school community. Based on the information, we believe the principal and faculty responded swiftly to the emergency, notifying 911 and the student’s family immediately. We continue to monitor this situation.”

Qwasie Reid, the EMT worker who tried to revive the 7-year-old — after spotting her, mid-choke, as he drove by PS 250 on Wednesday — told ABC7 that no one else at the school had tried to help the girl.

“She was blue in the face and lips,” Reid said. “No response. Unconscious, unresponsive.”

Reid has now reportedly been suspended from his job. Still, he told the news station, “I made a vow to save a life. If I had to do jump out of the ambulance again, I’d do anything. I pray to God she feels better.”

Patch has reached out to Echavarria’s family for more information on her medical status. However, ABC7 reports that she’s not expected to wake up, and that her mother is simply ”praying for a miracle.”
