A 6-year-old Georgia boy collapsed on a baseball field while taking pictures with teammates and later died from a heart defect he had since birth, his mother and coach say.
Georgia boy, 6, who had heart defect dies suddenly while taking pictures with baseball teammates
An ambulance rushed him to a children's hospital in nearby Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he could not be revived.Brantley was born with a rare congenital heart defect — hypoplastic left heart syndrome — and had three open-heart surgeries by the time he was 2, according to his mother. "There was no sign or symptom, which I was told was a major possibility — that it could be an instant heart attack," Brantley's mother, Megan Bryson, told NBC News on Monday."I never told him or explained it to him," she said of the heart defect."So, he never thought he was any different from the rest of the kids."
"If he didn't like his time, he'd say, `Let me do it again,' and he'd take off running the bases again," Chapman said. As the photographer was lining up the players for the team picture, Brantley grabbed his back and fell forward, according to Chapman. The coach and the child's grandfather called 911.
