Teen dies 24 hours after being diagnosed with shock

He was young, athletic and fit as a fiddle. But then Kyle L. suddenly developed back pain. It turned out he had leukemia.

He played football, basketball and ran for the track and field team. Kyle L.* (†16) from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was always in excellent health and a keen athlete. But in a few hours everything changed for the young man. 24 hours after being diagnosed with cancer, his heart stopped beating.

It all started innocently. After a basketball game, Kyle told his parents that he had back pain. The teen was taken to hospital for a check-up and given painkillers. “They told me to bring him back in a few days if he wasn’t better. Well, in a few days he couldn’t even get up,” Kyle’s father, Ken L. * tells the FOX 29 Philadelphia TV station.

“Then Our Nightmare Began”

It kept getting worse and worse. Mother Jodi T.* decided to call emergency services the next morning, who took her son to the emergency room at St. Christopher’s Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia: “That’s when our nightmare began.”

The doctors told the shocked parents that their son had leukemia. The pain was the precursor to multiple organ failure. Kyle had no chance of survival and died 24 hours after diagnosis. A shock to the parents. “It’s indescribable. I can’t even put into words how I feel,” says mom Jodie T., who recently had to battle breast cancer.

He wanted to work for the FBI

Her son already had concrete plans for his future after school. Not as an athlete, but he wanted to be a detective for the FBI or CSI. “He wanted it so bad that he applied and was accepted into a program where he would have learned that summer with real CSI agents in Washington,” his parents write about their son on a donation page.

Kyle L. wanted to stop all the evil in this world by putting all criminals behind bars. With the appeal, the family wants to raise $ 25,000 to pay for hospital treatment and funeral. The rest of the money will benefit his siblings. The family still can’t believe how quickly their beloved Kyle died. The call for donations states: “Before April 13, he was a completely healthy and happy young man who showed no signs of illness. The disease just came and took him the same day.” (jmh)
