heat stroke , since, after consuming this cold drink, minutes later
his health began to deteriorate.
Local media reported that although the boy was taken to a medical center,
life-saving efforts were unsuccessful, and he died.Authorities are conducting the respective investigations to determine the causes of Arlex’s death, after engaging in an activity that any child would want to be doing.
