According to Macie Hill’s autopsy findings, she was killed when a car ploughed into her during a Kaysville parade.
The 8-year-old Macie Hill was slain earlier this year during the July 4 parade in Kaysville, and the police have declared that they would not press charges in her killing.
The autopsy on Hill’s death revealed no evidence of misconduct on the part of the car’s driver, the parade’s organisers, or anyone else.
Hill was reportedly strolling alongside a caravan that was a part of the Patriot Cheer All Stars entrance in the parade when the incident took place, according to a police report.
The 37-year-old male driver’s Macie Hill postmortem report was “negative with zero results,” according to Kaysville Police Chief Solomon Oberg.
The examination established that neither the parade’s organisers nor any other party involved made any errors or flaws.
While she was attempting to remove candies from the trailer, the front tyre slid over her leg and pushed her underneath the tyres. She passed away at the hospital afterwards.
The youngest of three boys and a gifted dancer and cheerleader, Macie Hill was raised by her parents.
The entire town was in sadness and sorrow over her passing, and many people remembered how upbeat she was.
Pink ribbons were placed throughout Hill’s neighbourhood and in front of the primary school she attended after her death.
The results of Macie Hill’s autopsy revealed the cause of death. Ryan Dopp, the bishop for the Hill family, remarked that “She was the baby, she was the princess of their family.”
Dopp also said that Macie loved to dance and cheer, and that she passed away while doing what she loved—cheering with her teammates—and what she loved most.
Oberg didn’t elaborate when asked if there would be any modifications made to upcoming events in Kaysville as a result of what transpired during the march.
Nonetheless, as he indicated, the parade committee met and will continue to meet to discuss putting improvements and alternatives into place to increase safety at the march.
Several Utah communities looked at their parade regulations after the incident to protect the security of spectators and participants.
New regulations for Farmington’s Farmington Festival Days Parade prohibited leaving a parade entry once the event had begun.
