Horror story writers know, nothing is as fearsome as the circus:
A 12-year-old Bay Area girl found unconscious after a ride on a Las Vegas Strip roller coaster has died.
The Clark County coroner's office said Catlynne Shaw of Union City died Tuesday.
A coroner's spokeswoman said it could be several weeks before a cause of death is determined.
Authorities had said they thought Shaw suffered a heart attack during the July 16 ride on the Canyon Blaster at the Circus Circus Adventuredome.
An off-duty Clark County firefighter was credited with helping resuscitate Shaw before paramedics arrived and she was taken to University Medical Center. Doctors said she died Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for MGM Mirage Inc., which owns Circus Circus, said the roller coaster opened in 1993.
It can reach a maximum speed of 55 miles per hour and includes a 45 degree drop.
