Despite immediate medical attention and an airlift to Maine Medical Center in Portland, Lucy’s condition worsened dramatically during surgery. Surgeons attempted to relieve pressure on her brain by removing part of her skull, but despite their efforts, Lucy’s chances of survival were minimal due to severe arterial bleeding. She passed away early Wednesday morning.
The broken racket, comprised of an aluminum shaft and a wooden base, became a lethal projectile that ended the young girl’s life. Maine State Police have ruled the incident as an unintentional injury caused by her 10-year-old brother, marking it a tragic accident.
In the wake of the accident, Jesse Morgan shared his profound grief and reflections on faith in his blog. He recounted the recent spiritual conversations with Lucy, including her own prayers and questions about faith. “Four weeks ago she asked [her mother] Bethany how to be with God and be saved,” the post reads. “Bethany explained it to her and offered to pray with her, but ‘Miss Independent’ wanted to do it herself.”
As the family navigates this immense loss, the community and beyond have come together in support. A GoFundMe page set up for the family has already raised nearly $100,000. The donations are a testament to the widespread empathy and support for the Morgans during this unimaginably difficult time.

Moreover, the emotional toll on Lucy’s siblings, who are grappling with guilt and sorrow, is profound. Jesse Morgan shared the painful conversations with his children, including one where his son questioned if happiness could ever return to their family.
The family’s return home was marked by shared grief and an overwhelming sense of loss. “We just sat on the front steps for a while crying until I finally mustered up the courage to open the door. We again collapsed in a pile on the kitchen floor crying harder as a family than we ever have,” Morgan described.
In this time of profound sorrow, the community’s prayers and support are a crucial comfort to the Morgan family, as they remember Lucy and come to terms with their loss under such tragic circumstances.
