(CNN) -- Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old girl on a ventilator who was declared brain dead by doctors in California after tonsil surgery, was released from a hospital to her mother Sunday night.

"The body of Jahi McMath was released by Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland to the coroner," said David Durand, the hospital's chief of pediatrics. "The coroner has released her body to the custody of her mother, Latasha Winkfield, as per court order, for a destination unknown."

She left the hospital accompanied by a critical care team, attached to a ventilator, but with no feeding tube in place.

"Her brain needs time to heal. It's a new injury," Scerri said. "We believe in life after injury. All of us here at New Beginnings have first-hand experience because we have a loved one that was in the same situation as Jahi."

1. Her brain needs time to heal?

Fuck me, these people are out of their minds.

2. in the comments after one of the articles last week, some moran was saying that the reason

the hospital was "dragging its feet" was because the body was healing itself, covering up all evidence of medical malpractice.

3. It's the family that "needs time to heal".

Unfortunately, that process won't begin until they accept that their little girl is gone for good. Very sad.

My god.
