A 10-year-old boy died on Sunday due to complications from the flu while traveling with his hockey club in upstate New York — and his passing marks the latest in a string of flu-related deaths.
Nico Mallozzi, of Connecticut, came down with a fever during his trip to Buffalo with his fellow Connecticut Roughriders on Friday night. His parents, who were traveling with the team, took him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with the flu and released, but his condition quickly grew worse and the fourth-grader died suddenly on Sunday.
“It’s an impossible tragedy for to navigate,” family friend Kirsten Morin tells People.
