(Scroll down for video) An ultra-Orthodox Jewish teen died just a day after giving birth to her first child, according to hospital officials in New York.
The 18-year-old woman was identified as Chaya Faiga Hager, the great-granddaughter of the grand rabbi of Viznitz.
The woman died just a year after getting married. Hager married at age 17, as many ultra-Orthodox Jewish girls.
Hager died a day after giving birth to her first child.
Earlier this week, Hager gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
However, the woman developed an infection, and her condition quickly deteriorated until she died.
Thousands attended her funeral, and she was buried in Monsey, New York.
