Preliminary autopsy results on an 8-year-old girl who suffered a medical emergency on a Joplin-To-Chicago flight last week prove inconclusive.

 The plane the girl was on diverted to Peoria, Illinois, last Thursday in an attempt to get emergency medical care for the girl, who has been identified as Sydney Weston of Carl Junction. Weston was later pronounced deceased at a Peoria hospital. No signs of foul play or neglect were revealed by the autopsy. More complete tests are being conducted in order to determine the child's cause of death, but those tests usually take between four and six week to conduct. The Weston family has issued a statement requesting privacy and respect as they process their grief following the loss of their child.
