How Did This Four-Year-Old Girl Die of a 'Common Cold?'

An Ohio preschooler has been taken off life support just days after falling ill with a virus initially thought to be the common cold.

Four-year-old Maisie was taken to an urgent care after she came down with a stuffy nose and cough last week.

When she grew lethargic on Saturday, her parents rushed her to a local emergency room before she was admitted to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland.

There, she was placed in a medically induced coma. Doctors discovered bleeding in her brain and determined that she'd suffered a stroke. 

Just two days after arriving at the hospital, Maisie was pronounced dead.
