The news was confirmed by the directorate of the 9-year-old school in Washington, where the minor was a 7th-grader. School sources suggest that the cause of the death of 12-year-old [...]
Sources near the school suggest that the cause of the 12-year-old's death are the heart problems he displayed. Legal expertise is expected, however, to determine the cause of death.
Initially, the minor received medical treatment at the Korca Regional Hospital, but because of his heavy condition, he was rushed to the QSUT, where he lost his life.
This case has raised concerns about rising cases of deaths from cardiac problems to youth in Corca County. Just days ago, three other young people lost their lives in different cities in the district -- a 16-year-old in Korca, a 17-year-old in Pogradec, and a 15-year-old in the city of Erseka.
Health and order authorities are conducting investigations to whiteen the cause of these deaths and to provide accurate information on factors that may have contributed to these tragedies. /Euronews
