He was rushed to hospital in critical, life-threatening condition. Eight other teens in attendance were also taken to hospital for precautionary reasons and subsequently released. The initial investigation does not indicate that the teens were the victims of a criminal act. However, the investigation is ongoing. The boy's identity is not being released and his family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.
