Broadway star dies at age 13 after suffering asthma attack
Laurel Griggs, a child star who performed on Broadway, has died at just 13 years old, CBS New York reports. Griggs died Tuesday after suffering an asthma attack while with her parents in Manhattan, according to her grandfather David Rivlin.
Broadway dimmed its lights in tribute to the 13-year-old Friday. Family, friends, and fellow stage performers gathered in Chelsea on Sunday to remember Laurel's life.
"Laurel was a child that everybody would dream to have," her grandfather told the New York Times. "She was a brilliant girl, could run a role and never forget a line, and I never heard a complaint. I'm going to miss her."
