Lubbock child dies after swallowing battery
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Little Reese Hamsmith, not quite 2 years old, died Thursday after swallowing a battery back in November.
Reese suffered burns to her throat, esophagus, and vocal cords.
She was moved from UMC to the Texas Children’s in Houston, where she died Thursday morning.
Reese will be remembered as a “spunky, outgoing, and sassy 17 month old.”
Her mother, Trista, is a hairstylist and her father, Chris, owns and operates Hamsmith Motor Company.
They set up a GoFundMe to help with travel and medical expenses that can be found here:
