Children's Hospital and Research Center chief of pediatrics David Durand said in a statement the coroner in Oakland has given Latasha Winkfield custody of Jahi McMath's body and that her destination is unknown, according to a hospital statement. &quot;She is safely out of Children's,&quot; tweeted Chris Dolan, an attorney for the family, on Sunday evening. Jahi's family reached an agreement on Friday with the hospital allowing her to be moved to a different facility if they did so before 5 p.m. local time on Tuesday, when a restraining order keeping the hospital from removing her from life support is set to expire.</p><br clear="all"/>
