A 6-year-old girl on vacation in Maine was accidentally killed by a broken badminton racket while playing with her brother last week, according to police.

The racket’s aluminum shaft detached from the grip and struck the girl, identified as Lucy Morgan, in the head Saturday at noon while she was playing with her elder brother.

It punctured her skull, Maine State Police reported Friday.

Lucy was rushed from her house in Limerick, a village west of Portland, to a nearby hospital and then airlifted to Maine Medical Center, where she died Wednesday, according to authorities.

According to authorities, the injury was unintentional and an accident.

In a statement, they wrote, “The Maine State Police would like to extend their deepest condolences to the Morgan family,” who were from Stockholm, New Jersey.

Lucy’s dad, a pastor at a church in Rockaway, New Jersey, wrote about her time in the hospital on his blog.

“After significant thorough testing and even more repeated tests to be certain, brain death was declared 1:32am on June 5, and her heart stopped beating around 4am. Lucy was with Jesus.”

He also said that his wife had given Lucy a prayer journal last month, which they discovered in her backpack following her death.

The initial paragraph was:

“God is so amazing and He si the true God and He created everything and He died on the cross for our sins.”

Lucy’s father remarked:

“It’s almost as if God was writing with her, drawing her to himself. How a six year old journals like this is beyond me.”

The Morgans’ church, Green Pond Bible Chapel, Newfoundland, NJ announced a service of mourning for Lucy on June 15, and Pastor Ryan Boys sent a letter to the community on Wednesday reflecting on the loss.

“As hard as this is for the Morgans, they are not weeping or walking alone.”
