But the 11-year-old Laurence Manning Academy fifth-grader died Wednesday afternoon and will not have the chance to realize her potential. ”We're all in shock,” said Danny Mullis, who coached Ashlie for two seasons while she played for the Carolina Connexion, a Sumter-based fast-pitch travel ball team. According to Sumter County Coroner Harvin Bullock, the Sumter girl was suffering from respiratory distress and died at 1:54 p.m. while en route to Palmetto Health Richland Memorial in Columbia. The official cause of death is pending. An autopsy is scheduled for today at Newberry Pathology Associates. Bullock said the autopsy is being performed because of her age and the circumstances of her death, adding that authorities want to be certain of the cause of death. Ashlie's family said she started complaining of flu-like symptoms Monday and ended up with pneumonia. She was being taken by ambulance to Columbia from Tuomey Regional Medical Center. ”The case is under review, and, at this point, I can't say anything else,” said Tuomey spokeswoman Brenda Chase. “At this point, we are investigating the case. We are working with all entities involved. We offer our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers to the family during this very tragic event.” Dr. Spencer Jordan, Laurence Manning's headmaster, said Ashlie had been at the private Clarendon County school for three years but that she hadn't been at school all week. ”She was a very good student. She was always bubbly, always full of life, always easy to please,” Jordan said. “Words can't describe what this means for the Laurence Manning family.” Laurence Manning closed Tuesday afternoon for the rest of this week after about 280 of the school's 1,000 students didn't show up because of the flu, strep throat or other upper respiratory illnesses. The school is scheduled to reopen Monday. Maggie Epply was devastated by the news that her best friend had died. ”She was really fun,” Maggie said between tears. “We liked playing with each other. She was the best friend ever. We played football, we rode go-carts. She would come over to my house, and we would go fishing in our pond. We both liked softball.” Sports, Maggie added, were Ashlie's favorite activities. While her brothers were playing football, the two girls often played tag in the end zones. Mullis said Ashlie was a natural talent on the ballfield. She played catcher and shortstop and was learning to be a pitcher. “She was good no matter where you put her,” he said. “Very athletically blessed.” Ashlie was also a “great kid,” he added. “She had a wonderful personality. Everybody loved her to death. She didn't know any strangers. She was going to be something else,” he said quietly. Tony Bettencourt, Ashlie's current softball coach on both the Sumter County Recreation and Parks Department and travel league teams, said she was his team's main catcher on the travel league. She also served as the second-string pitcher on both teams. “She was probably one of my better players, a real good player,” Bettencourt said. “We're all going to miss her terribly. She's an awesome player and a good little girl.” Gretta Corning, Epply's mother, spoke of the close connection between Ashlie, her parents and her two older brothers, Mark and Caleb. “They were a beautiful family, always together, and often on a ballfield,” she said. “A good, good family. And Ashlie was just a beautiful, sweet child. She was always smiling.” The two girls, she added, were both tomboys. “They looked alike, dressed alike, talked alike,” Corning said. “Everyone said they were two peas in a pod.” Maggie, who wept throughout the conversation, said she can't imagine what life is going to be like without her closest friend. “It's going to be rough,” she said. “Now I don't have nobody to play at the baseball fields with anymore.” Item Senior Staff Writer Joe Perry and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
