The 3-year-old daughter of BYU running backs coach Reno Mahe and former BYU volleyball star Sunny Tonga Mahe was fighting for her life at Primary Children's Hospital on Tuesday evening after suffering a tragic accident Tuesday morning.
Elsie Mahe, one of the couple's seven children, was found hanging by some mini-blinds by a 4-year-old friend who immediately summoned Sunny Mahe. The mother performed CPR and the child was subsequently life-flighted to the Salt Lake City hospital from the family's Lehi home, according to Jeremy Roberts, a family friend.
"Everything that can possibly be done for the little girl from a medical standpoint is being done," Roberts said.
