A longtime Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader who was passionate about women's health died after giving birth.
Krystal Lakeshia Anderson died shortly after giving birth to her daughter, Charlotte Willow, who was stillborn, according to an obituary.
A GoFundMe established to cover Anderson's medical expenses, memorial services and establish a "legacy fund" said that Anderson, 40, had been diagnosed with sepsis during her pregnancy. According to the GoFundMe, Anderson "sought out hospitalization during her 21st week of pregnancy." After delivering her daughter, Anderson experienced organ failure and was placed on life support. She underwent three surgeries "but the source of infection remained elusive," the GoFundMe said. Anderson died on March 20.
