Four-month-old baby dies after temperatures skyrocket to 120 degrees during family’s Fourth of July trip

A four-month-old baby has tragically died after temperatures in Arizona reached a high of 120°F during the July 4 weekend.

The infant, identified as Tanna Rae Wroblewski, had been out on a boat in Lake Havasu with family when she suddenly “lost consciousness” on Friday (July 5) evening, according to a GoFundMe created by a family friend.

The parents performed CPR on their baby girl while waiting, before “Lake Havasu City Fire Department quickly arrived to take over life-saving procedures”.

The little girl was then rushed to Lake Havasu Regional Medical Center before being airlifted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital “where they did everything in their power to revive her, but God had other plans, and took Tanna to heaven that night”.

A heartbreaking tribute statement was shared on the fundraiser page, which read: “Tanna Rae Wroblewski, our real-life angel, became an angel in heaven. We are beyond devastated, heartbroken; there are just no words.”

“July 5, 2024 – The Wroblewski’s experienced the unthinkable. Enjoying a family day on the lake turned into the most unimaginable day of their lives,” they continued. “Our precious baby girl gave us her last smiles and we gave her our last kisses. We will never understand why you had to leave so soon, you were just too perfect.”

“The Wroblewski’s are surrounded by so much support, love, family, and friends. You would never expect the unthinkable to happen, and have to plan a funeral for your sweet baby girl at the shy age of four months old. All of your love, thoughts, and prayers are truly appreciated as they are going through the most difficult, unimaginable time in their lives,” they concluded.

As of this writing, $48,920 has been raised, surpassing the $25,000 goal.
