The teen’s death has sparked questions of a link between the attraction and the girl’s condition, and whether or not nature of the haunted house contributed to her death.

"I guess that’s the million dollar question, we’re going to attempt to answer that, but I don’t know if we will ever be able to," Burke said. "It did occur inside this haunted attracted, is there a connection? Maybe."

In a statement, the Land Of Illusion park said: "Christian will be in our hearts forever ... we ask the community to remember her as the kind and beautiful young person she was. Now is the time to reflect on the joy she brought to so many."
