“She had a pre-existing condition,” said Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, noting her doctor will be signing off on the cause of death. “The ride had nothing to do with the death.”

Park officials reported Jasmine Martinez, 10, of Ventura County, was found breathing, but unconscious near the rest area for the ride Revolution at the Valencia amusement park.9rhYwTTtTa6f7OXXKIoueQ

She was airlifted to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead, officials said.

“We were deeply saddened to learn that Jasmine Martinez, who was transported to the hospital after riding Revolution on June 12, has died,” according to a statement from Six Flags officials. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Jasmine’s family and friends during this difficult time.”

Fire officials received the call at 4:09 p.m., arrived at the park at 4:17 p.m., and had the patient en route to the local hospital at 4:45 p.m., according to Inspector Flores of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

The girl’s death was reported to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office at 4:58 p.m., according to Lt. Fred Corral of the Coroner’s Office.

More than 45 million guests have safely ridden Revolution since it opened in 1976, according to park officials.

 State investigators initially closed the ride for an inspection after the girl was taken to the hospital, and an initial inspection cleared the ride.
Investigators reportedly then re-opened the investigation, due to state procedure, after the death was reported. The ride was cleared a second time Monday, according to park officials.
