Hawaii girl, 3, dies after dental procedure
(CNN) -- Finley Boyle, a 3-year-old Hawaii girl who suffered massive brain damage after undergoing a dental procedure last month, died Friday night, a hospice said Saturday.
The girl died with her family by her side, said Kenneth L. Zeri, president and chief professional officer of Hospice Hawaii.
"There are few greater privileges in life than to accompany someone on their end-of-life journey, providing comfort and support not only to that person but also to their loved ones," the statement said. "As with all of our patients, we were truly blessed to be able to be there for The Boyle Family and for Finley at the end of her journey."
Finley's parents are suing a Kailua, Hawaii, dentist, alleging negligence and dangerous conduct.
The lawsuit, filed against Lilly Geyer and her practice, Island Dentistry for Children, alleges improper medications with incorrect dosages were administered to the girl on December 3, according to court documents filed this week.
When routine surgeries go wrong
Mother: Dentist left girl brain damaged"As a direct and proximate result of the medications administered to (Finley) by defendants, (Finley) suffered cardiac arrest during her dental procedure," the lawsuit says.
It alleges that, as a further result of improper medications, Finley "suffered severe and permanent brain damage."
Neither Geyer nor her attorney, John Nishimoto, responded to CNN's requests for comment. The Island Dentistry website states it has been permanently closed and directs patients to an e-mail address.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Hawaii's First Circuit Court, alleges that Geyer had no plan in place to respond to medical emergencies, such as the one Finley suffered. It seeks unspecified damages.
Girl declared brain dead after tonsil surgery
Finley's mother, Ashley Boyle, said she first took her daughter to the dentist in November, when she was told her daughter needed six fillings and four root canals, she said.
They returned in December to undergo the root canals, Boyle said.
The parents allege that Finley was sedated and left unmonitored for 26 minutes.
Finley was moved from a hospital to the hospice in late December.
Finley's pediatric neurologist, Dr. Gregory Yen, said MRIs showed the girl suffered severe brain damage and that she was in a "persistent vegetative state."

Finley's sudden and tragic death all started with a trip to the dentist in early December.
Her parents took her to Island Dentistry in Kailua to undergo four root canals from Dr. Lilly Geyer. It's unclear why Finley needed such extensive dental work done. (Via New York Daily News)
According to KHON, before the procedure, the 3-year-old was given a "highly potent mix of sedatives" and left unmonitored for 26 minutes. She soon stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest.

CALLER: "A child is not breathing. She is under sedation."

CALLER: "Um, yes, we have a doctor here." (Via WBRE)
But according to Finley's parents, she didn't get CPR right away and that crucial lack of oxygen to Finley's brain left her in a coma and brain dead, struggling to breathe for weeks.
"In every case, the treatment was either totally unnecessary or somewhat unnecessary." (Via WPTV)
And now, still reeling from the tragic loss of their daughter, Finley's parents are suing Dr. Geyer and her practice for alleged negligence and dangerous conduct.
According to CNN, the lawsuit "alleges improper medications with incorrect dosages were administered to the girl on Dec. 3," and as a result, Finley "suffered severe and permanent brain damage."
Island Dentistry's website says it has been permanently closed. Dr. Geyer and her attorney have yet to comment on the impending lawsuit.
