A child has died following the Asiana flight crash, officials have said, becoming the third victim of the San Francisco disaster.
The girl, a Chinese national, had been in a critical condition, according to a statement from doctors at San Francisco General Hospital.
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 collided with a rocky seawall just short of its intended airport runway last week. Investigators have said the plane came in too low and slow.
Two Chinese teenage girls also died in the crash and 180 people were injured.
Ye Mengyuan One of the teenagers, 16-year-old Ye Mengyuan, was struck by a fire truck while she was covered in foam sprayed to douse the jet's fire, police said earlier.
It was not clear whether she was already dead or whether she was alive after the accident.
Authorities were still trying to determine the cause of death.
Police officials confirmed she was hit after responding emergency personnel failed to see her on the ground near the downed airliner.
Wang Linija "When the fire truck repositioned itself to continue battling flames from the fuselage, the victim passenger was found in the tyre track of the fire truck," police spokesman Albie Esparza said.
San Francisco fire officials said the other victim of the crash, 16-year-old Wang Linjia, was already dead when airport staff found her near the runway.
Nearly a week after the crash, investigators have pieced together an outline of the event.
With each new bit of information, the picture emerging is of pilots who were supposed to be closely monitoring the plane's airspeed, but who did not realise until too late that the aircraft was dangerously low and slow.
Nothing disclosed so far by the National Transportation Safety Board investigators indicates any problems with the Boeing 777's engines or the functioning of its computers and automated systems.
The flight's four pilots have been interviewed, as have passengers and dozens of witnesses.
Air traffic control recordings and video of the flight's last moments, including the crash itself, also have been examined.
