“I thought it was a cup at first, but now I found out that it was an actual pan full of gasoline into the barrel, and they say that it just exploded and just went in her direction,” she said. “It was devastating. Completely burned her whole body.”
Per FOX 4, Lewis went into a medically-induced coma and underwent multiple surgeries at Parkland Hospital in Dallas.
Doctors took the teen out of the coma and she made some small movements with her tongue, before she was put back into the medically-induced coma.
“Maddy’s journey was marked by an unwavering spirit, resilience, and a courage that inspired all who knew her,” reads an online obituary. “Despite facing formidable challenges, she confronted each obstacle with a determination that left a lasting impact on everyone touched by her grace. Her precious body, tired from the arduous battle, found solace as the good Lord called her home.”
A donation has been set up to help the girl’s family pay for funeral expenses.
Police told Fox News Digital on Monday morning that charges are being finalized against one suspect in connection with Lewis’ death.
