Boy dies from rarely fatal disease
An 11-year-old in Texas died suddenly from a disease that’s not generally known to be fatal.
Paul Roscoe, of North Richland Hills, Texas, died after collapsing at his home Saturday morning.
His death was triggered by Kawasaki disease — a condition that affects children, especially boys, under the age of 5, and causes aneurysms and blockages in the blood vessels.
Dr. Scott Alenick, a pediatric cardiologist in Northern and Central New Jersey, said Kawasaki disease is fairly common; however it is extremely rare for someone to die from it.
