A Kindergarten student from Mann School in north Oak Park had died yesterday in the afternoon, at a hospital. He
was a wonderful kid with a bright future and succumbed to
demise at an age too cruel to be believed. He did not die of
a cause that came from issues like allergies, a flu, mold toxins, or any apparent effect from the school or the region.
Many parents were concerned about how the young man
died. There were rumors of a car accident and a host of
others. Unconfirmed reports indicate the reason for death
was from a constricted bowel, a potentially very serious issue, whether the small, or large intestine, or a congenital
or spontaneous event.
We trust that everything was done with best of intentions to save this young man's life. When more is made known from the family we will keep you informed. Please take a moment to hug your loved ones and remember how precious they are.
