An Illinois mother has been charged in her daughter's death after police say she hid the teenage girl's medical diagnosis and prevented her from getting proper treatment.
Amber Hampshire, 39, of the city of Alton in southern Illinois was charged Thursday with one count involuntary manslaughter and one count of endangering the life or health of a child in connection to her 14-year-old daughter Emily's death in November, according to a press release from Madison County State's Attorney Tom Gibbons.LINK

The girl had allegedly been diagnosed with diabetes in 2013, but doctors at the hospital where she was taken in November weren't made aware of it until after her death, the press release said.
Not to diminish the mother's ultimate culpability, but can't this be diagnosed with a simple blood test? I would think that would be SOP in screening an unconcious patient with unknown history.

You'd think. Maybe she did not disclose it on the forms at admittance leading to a misdiagnosis

Days after Emily’s death, police obtained a search warrant and found medications for diabetes as well as various equipment used to treat someone with the disease at Hampshire’s home. The teen’s phone was also seized by police to see if it contained any evidence, according to the outlet.
Weird.
