12 year old boy dies on Rock "N" ...

Just read in my town's newspaper and my sister heard on the news about a twelve year boy that died after riding the Rock "N" Roller Coaster! Let me try and post the link.
The parents said he was in good health. It's so sad.

Oh, how incredibly tragic. That poor family must be simply devastated. They will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Very sad. Thanks for sharing the article. I had read the little blurb across the screen on the news that a 12-year-old died on a Disney roller coaster, but that was all the information it gave. I was coming on here to look for it and checked here first.

Autopsy found congenital heart abnormalties which may have been his cause of death. So sad to hear about that in a child so young with no warning to do anything about it.

That is so sad...I figured they would find something on the autopsy, but I think about 75% of us would have some sort of undiagnosed condition if we were opened up and examined. A congenital heart problem could be a simple heart murmur - that's what scares me so much.
My heart just goes out to his family...you better believe my kids will get some extra hugs and kisses....
