The boy who died Tuesday evening after collapsing at the YMCA in Bath has been identified.
His name was Evan Briggs, a second-grader at West Bath School, his family told the Portland Press Herald.
He was 7 years old.
Evans collapsed while playing flag football on the field during a youth sports program.
Staff performed CPR until paramedics arrived to take him to the hospital, where despite “best efforts” to save his life, the child died, the Bath Area Family YMCA wrote in a Wednesday evening social media post.
“Our entire Y family is deeply saddened by this situation. Our thoughts and prayers remain with this young child, his family and friends, as well as those who came to his aid,” the organization wrote.
