McLEAN, Virginia (AP) -- An infant born last month to an unconscious, severely brain-damaged mother has died, the family said Monday.

Susan Anne Catherine Torres, born prematurely on August 2, died of heart failure Sunday after emergency surgery to repair a perforated intestine, a family statement said.

A spokeswoman at St. Rita's Church in Alexandria said parishioners were told of the child's death during morning Mass.

The infant's condition had deteriorated rapidly over the weekend, according to the family.

Cancer patient Susan Torres was kept alive on life support for three months so she could deliver the child.

Torres, a 26-year-old researcher at the National Institutes of Health, suffered a stroke in May after melanoma spread to her brain.

oh gee, I'm truly sorry their family lost love ones includes baby and his wife too.

My heart goes out for them....
 
So heartbreaking for the family. The mother and the baby. Prayers go out to them. So terrible. :(


God will take care of them.
 
Damn, I was really praying that baby would make it. That poor man has now lost his wife and child all within a year.
 
I feel very sad for the man and the baby's grandparents.

The sweet little baby is with Jesus now.
 
I read that on other forum and makes me sad to hear that the baby passed away..
 
Oh my dear... I feel for that man and grandparents who lost their wife, daughter & grandchild in once. :(
