FILE - In this Dec. 23, 2015 file photo, a recent photo of Jahi McMath is shown on a video screen next to her uncle Timothy Whisenton at a news conference in San Francisco. New Jersey officials say McMath, the girl at the center of the medical and religious debate over brain death, has died from excessive bleeding. The girl's mother said Thursday, June 28, 2018, that New Jersey doctors declared Jahi McMath dead after an operation to treat an intestinal issue. A California coroner in 2013 ruled the then 13-year-old died after suffering irreversible brain damage during an operation to remove her tonsils. Her family did not accept the decision and opted to move her to New Jersey. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu, file)
