Teen catches baseball in the chest; dies
A 14 year old, Chicago suburban boy caught a baseball which ended in tragedy.
What a loss. Apparently the boy adored playing baseball. It’s heartbreaking when freak accidents occur, especially to children.
On Wednesday night, the 14-year-old was in the first softball game of his school’s new team at Fernwood Park when he dove for the ball, caught it, then fell on the ball chest first. He was rushed to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and died about an hour later.
An autopsy Thursday was inconclusive, with the cause of death pending further study. But Maurice’s great-aunt, Deborah Hatcher, said she was told by doctors the ball had hit a valve in the boy’s heart.
