Lilliana Schalck was ten minutes away from performing at a cheerleading competition in Ohio last Saturday when her father says the usually fit and healthy 13-year-old girl began complaining of weakness and tingling in her feet.
Less than two hours later, the gifted cheerleader from Kentucky was pronounced dead by staff at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, leaving her father, Dan, to wonder whether he had missed any red flags.
‘You just keeping going over the sequence of events of the whole day and try to see if there was something that I missed,’ Dan Schalck told NBC News, ‘something more I could have done as her father.’
Searching for answers: Dan Schalck (left) says he still has no idea what happened to his fit and athletic 13-year-old daughter, Lilliana, who fell ill at a cheerleading event and died
The middle-schooler complained of tingling feet and numbness in her hands 10 minutes before she was set to perform last Saturday
An autopsy has been performed on Lilliana to try and determine her cause of death, but no preliminary findings have been released.
The full report from the medical examiner's office will take eight to ten weeks to be completed.
Dan, who had been raising Lilliana in Fort Thomas, said that in the days before the ill-fated competition in Columbus, the 13-year-old complained to him about a nagging pain in her hamstring.
He took Lilliana to her doctor where an X-ray was performed, but it indicated that the hamstring was fine.
The teen was an eighth-grader at Highlands Middle School in Fort Thomas, but she competed with the high school varsity team.
Tragic and sudden: Lilliana, 13, was rushed to a hospital, where her condition worsened. She died just before 8pm that same night
She was also a member of a private cheerleading, gymnastics and dance team called Premier Athletics of Northern Kentucky.
On Saturday, Dan accompanied his daughter to the All-Star cheerleading event in Ohio.
As her squad was warming up, he said the coach approached him and said that something was wrong with his daughter, reported Fox19.
Dan said his first thought was that Lilliana was dehydrated, so he took her aside and gave her some fluids, but she was getting weaker and not acting like her normal self.
As she was sitting on the floor, Dan recalled that his daughter's feet began tingling, and her hands grew cold and numb.
Medics at the venue rushed the girl to the emergency room at the children’s hospital, where her condition took a turn for the worse.
“The nurse liaison pulled me aside and asked me who would be important in her life that I might like to call,’ the grieving dad told ABC News.
He added: 'In the ICU they were working on her. At some point I was able to get close, hold her hand. At that point they just couldn't do anymore.'

According to Dan, Lilliana’s heart stopped a total of four times as staff in the ICU were trying to save her life.
At 7.40pm – just 1 hour and 55 minutes after Lilliana's team dropped out of the cheer competition because of her sudden illness - doctors pronounced her dead.
‘The only thing I can say was, “What the hell just happened? What happened? How can this be?”’ her dad recalled saying.
Lilliana, who dreamed of cheerleading on the college level and eventually becoming an elementary school teacher, will be laid to rest in her blue school uniform.
On Sunday, Highlands Middle School hosted a vigil, which drew hundreds of students, teachers and members of the local community.
The somber gathering was held in the school gymnasium, where a photo of Lilliana surrounded by blue crysthanamum, sometimes known as 'spider mums' served as the centerpiece.
‘She is beloved by so many and we know our students will need help through the grieving process,’ Fort Thomas Independent Schools Superintendent Karen Cheser wrote in a message to parents at the school confirming Lilliana’s tragic passing.

Principal Michael Howton told WKRC that Lilliana was interested in journalism and wrote about sports.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
