Her death was confirmed this morning by her father and Chinese state media. Lu Lingzi was killed on Monday along with Martin Richard, 8, and Krystle Campbell, 29.

Lu attended the Boston Marathon on Monday with two friends and was at the finish line when the bombs were detonated. One of her friends, Zhou Danling, was badly injured and temporarily in a coma. Lu did not survive.

In the confusion of the aftermath of the bombing, Lu was reported missing. Social media was flooded with pleas of help from her friends and classmates . . .
