HTN: First Grader Dies from Influenza

A six-year-old Buffalo boy died last week of complications from influenza. Brazill Bridgers is one of seven to die from the flu this year in New York State. The boy was a first grader at St. Mark's Elementary School in North Buffalo. He got sick during class and was running a fever, so he was sent home. His grandmother gave him some medication and put him in bed, where he was found dead a short time later. The school has dedicated a bookshelf in the library in his honor.
