BRODHEAD, Wis. (AP) -- The puzzling death of a three-year-old Brodhead girl has now been attributed to a brain aneurysm.

Isabella Ann Albritton was riding her bike Monday when she collapsed. Brodhead EMS treated her at the scene before she was rushed to Mercy Hospital in Janesville and then airlifted to University Hospital in Madison, where she was pronounced dead.

Green County Deputy Coroner Kris Hasse says an autopsy showed it was a brain aneurysm that took the girl's life.

My heart breaks every time I see a little one. I help out at a store in the town where her family now resides. My mom died of a brain aneurism, it is heart breaking. I didn't know them personally, but I cried when the contribution can and photo came in. She is adorable. You can't help but smile when you see her photo, and cry knowing why you are holding her photo. I pray for her family each day, for strength. No one should ever lose a child! That is just not how it is supposed to go. I know that Isabella is in a beautiful place now, dancing and having the time of her life. It is those who are left behind that have to heal. Isabella has given her family and friends the greatest gift anyone could have given and that is love, unconditional, unbiased love. I don't mean to go on, but this has been on my heart for the last week and a half. To the family and friends, please turn to each other for support, don't turn your backs to each other. I will keep you in my prayers.

To the parents of Isabella~ my heart grieves for you. MAy God & His Blessed Mother hold all of you in the palm of His hand during this time. I am thankful that there was a medical helicopter to step into the place left vacant for the time being,of the grounded UW MedFlight program. Godspeed to all who loved, knew & cared for Isabella.

To Anonymous at 1:46. I agree whole heartedly about how extremely rude you were to Isabella's Grandmother. You owe her and all of Isabella's family an apology. How can you be so cruel when this family is grieving for the little Angel they have just sent to Heaven?

The family is from Fl. That is where Isabella was born. Keep your rude comments to yourself. Believe it or not, there are acutally people with heart who want to help in a tragic time. My heart goes out the the Albritton Family.

Has anyone set up a fund for the parents to help with the funeral expenses and any other expenses they may need help with? If they have, can someone please pass that information on? I will be one of the first to contribute! God bless and find comfort that she is with God and being cared for!

My thoughts and prayers are with this family. I've got 2 small children and my worst fear is something happening to my children. You will see her again, may God give you strength in this tough time.

How very sad, as a mother it is your worst fear-you child being hurt or killed and you cant do anything. My prayers are with the family.

As the uncle of an almost 3 year old boy, I can't imagine the pain these parents are in. I hope you find peace knowing you gave her a great life full of love, and you will see her again someday. It sounds corny but it is true, time heals all wounds. Once you get through the first Christmas, birthday etc.. you can get through anything. best wishes

Some of us don't have to be here as long as others to accomplish what we are on earth to learn. Dale Evans wrote a beautiful book on the subject, "Angels Unaware."
