She is not a "who the hell," but a computer prodigy who was considered the youngest computer "techie" professional at nine years old in 2004.

How tragic is that?

There is no reason for anyone to die of epilepsy as the cure for that disease has been known since 1949 .

Joanna, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know that losing a child is the greatest loss anyone can have in life. God bless.

It's tragic that such an incredibly gifted girl, who had to have been a genius, should die from, of all things, epilepsy and at such a young age. Imagine what she might have done with her life; what she might have contributed to the greater good! Evil and useless people proliferate on this planet and God takes this special child; a classic example of the everpresent unfairness of life. Rest in Peace precious child and many blessings to your loved ones.
