US, California - An 11-year-old girl who died after a fight with a classmate in Long Beach cried, complained of a headache and vomited after the altercation, friends and family said.
Long Beach police said the girl underwent surgery hours after the fight but declined to say what type and have not revealed a cause of death.
"There are still many questions, many questions that cannot be answered," said Long Beach Deputy Police Chief Robert Luna.

Surveillance video shows Douglas Kennedy, the son of Robert F. Kennedy, who was arrested on misdemeanor charges of child endangerment and harassment relating to a Jan. 7 scuffle in the maternity unit of Northern Westchester Hospital, in a violent scuffle with two nurses.
Two nurses allege Kennedy twisted one's wrist and kicked the other while they tried to prevent him from taking his two-day old son outside.
Kennedy says he was trying to take his son, Beau, out for some fresh air, when nurses tried to stop him.
On the surveillance video, you see Kennedy lift his leg and a nurse fall backwards on the floor.

Members of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, made up of human-rights experts, questioned why Canada has not made more progress in closing the gap between First Nations communities and the rest of the country, Postmedia News reported.
"This problem should not continue the same way as it has in the past,'' Noureddine Amir, vice-chairman of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, said at the panel's meeting in Geneva. "How long will this be ongoing?'
The panel's scrutiny comes amid news reports of the housing crisis at the Attawapiskat, in northern Ontario, and concerns of a health crisis among large numbers of aboriginals addicted to OxyContin.
The committee this week was conducting an examination of Canada's record on combating discrimination and heard from several aboriginal groups, including the Assembly of First Nations.
Catrina Tapley, a senior Citizenship and Immigration Canada official, appeared before the panel and acknowledged that mistakes had been made in the past, Postmedia reported.
Passenger says 'everything was crashing, people were screaming'
Canada, Ontario- Three Via Rail employees, all in the locomotive section, died in a train derailment in the southern Ontario city of Burlington on Sunday afternoon.
"There's no question it's very tragic. We're a relatively small company, we're a family, we know everyone by name," said Via chief operating officer John Marginson, speaking to reporters at the scene.
"We certainly feel for the families of the colleagues that we lost," said Marginson, who added that there was no fuel leak at the site. The derailment involved five cars as well as the locomotive.
"It's very premature to speculate ... but obviously something went very wrong," he said.
One of the engineers who died was a trainee. A fourth Via employee was injured in the derailment.
Halton police Chief Gary Crowell said the bodies of the dead were removed from the train at about 8 p.m. ET.

The fumes, caused by what authorities called "a chlorine incident", forced the evacuation of the complex in this central Interior community and sent 70 people to hospital, the majority of them children.
"People just said 'you've got to get out," said Abbi Taylor, a 17-year-old swim coach who was there.
She said the kids, who were mostly under the age of 12, were in the pool at the time, warming up for the meet. A hockey game was also going on in the complex.
Taylor said a "wall of people" began running towards the door after the alert was given.
The children, many still wearing wet bathing suits, were ushered to the adjacent ice arena before the whole building was evacuated and ambulances arrived.

West Yorkshire chief Sir Norman Bettison, who is a vice-president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, said he fears that those elected could feel obligated to people who helped them win power.
He said he also has concerns about new commissioners undermining operational independence.
In an interview with the Yorkshire Post, Sir Norman accepted that a lot of candidates will stand for election simply because they want to make the world a better place.
But he said: "My fear is that (in other cases) it could be the door that unlocks corruption and anything that does has the potential to destroy public trust in policing. There is potential for some corruption with a small 'c'. What I mean is not the problem of huge frauds and secret banks accounts in Monaco.

The author briefly touches upon the topic of personal privacy and our rights as citizens, all the while covering the topic as if the only concerns anyone should have are those of safe operation among other airborne craft. But no, the real concerns are our rights to privacy as Americans. We let our freedoms slip away inch-by-inch, as if not a drop of blood was ever shed for any of them.
These drones range in size from the 116-foot-wingspan "Global Hawk" down to the "Whirly Bird," as small as a maple leaf seed -- "equipped with imaging sensors." While these devices can have many productive, beneficial uses for farmers and businesses, the great majority of the demand is for use by law enforcement. And remember, here in the new America -- you're guilty and not allowed to prove yourself innocent.
