The parents of 10-year-old Autumn Bushman, a fourth-grade student at Mountain View Elementary School in Roanoke, are speaking publicly about their grief following their daughter’s sudden death and the events that preceded it.
Autumn’s parents, Mark and Summer Bushman, said they began noticing changes in their daughter’s behavior several weeks before her death. They described a child who was once energetic and joyful becoming increasingly withdrawn.
“She was the youngest and likely the most spirited,” her mother, Summer Bushman, said. “She was a bundle of energy. It didn’t matter if you thought she might crash through my living room floor; she was always doing cartwheels inside our home.”
