A thriteen year old Davie, Florida boy passed away after being strangled by a hammock that he was playing in. According to reports, the boy was found by his father who untangled his son from the hammock. Although paramedics performed CPR in an effort to revive the boy and the child was transferred to a trauma center, he did not survive. An investigation into the incident still has not revealed how the boy managed to get tangled in the hammock, if he was playing or just lying in the hammock, whether he slipped and fell or tripped and fell while in the hammock and whether he was adequately supervised.
Funeral arrangements for the boy are being held in Davie where mourners were asked to wear baseball jerseys - as the child was an avid baseball player and fan.
