A 16-year-old teenager reportedly collapsed and died after visiting an Ohio haunted house last week, according to ABC News.

The girl, Christian Faith Benge, was not "scared to death," as many media outlets reported early on, but suffered from a life-long congenital defect that caused her to collapse at the Land of Illusions haunted house.

Benge's mother, Jean Benge, reportedly stated that she and a paramedic performed CPR on the teenager before she was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.

"It's a natural death," stated Doyle Burke, chief investigator for the Warren County Coroner's office, according to Reuters.

Land of Illusion reportedly said in a statement that Benge had gone to the attraction to listen to her father's band play a concert.

Benge was reportedly born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, a condition which causes the abdominal organs to move into the chest because of a hole in the diaphragm, according to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Although the defect had reportedly been fixed when Christian was an infant, she still suffered from long-term damage, including an enlarged heart and one nonfunctional lung.

"It had enlarged four times her natural size. It kicked out. When she collapsed, she died instantly," explained Jean Benge of her daughter's death.

Benge reportedly stated the she believes that her daughter's heart could have given out anywhere, and they just happened to be at a haunted house at the time. Doctors had reportedly not been too sure that Christian Faith Benge would live past infancy and had even sent her home to die when nothing else could be done to help the girl, stated the teenager's mother.

"My husband named her [because] Christian faith is the reason why she lives. People rule out miracles in our society. She was a living proof that God still works miracles," stated Benge.
