I can't imagine what his family and teammates are going through.
We have a sad situation here in Tucson, where some kids were reportedly running in and out of traffic. A 10 year old, was struck and killed by a deputy sheriff in a squad car. Witnesses reported that the boys were playing in the street and probably playing "chicken."
To make matters worse, a boy that was with the group, took his own life, days later. I don't know his age. The boys were supposed to be at one house, playing video games.
When i was 12 years old, one of our league members was killed in a roll over truck accident with his brother driving. Our team all went to the visitation , we were all 12-13 and that was tough, plus he was good.
