Dreadfully sad

A poignant photo shows a six year-old baseball fan smiling for the camera in his uniform just moments before he collapsed and died of a heart attack.

But the youngster collapsed shortly after, as his team, the Rock Springs Mustangs, prepared to pose for a group photo. The shell-shocked players next posed for a snap while visiting Bradley’s remains at a memorial home, with some of the players too young to understand the heartbreaking gravity of the situation.

The condition, which occurs in one in every 100,000 babies, stops part of the heart from forming properly and leaves sufferers with a lifelong, potentially deadly weakness in the vital organ.Treatments are available, but they only alleviate symptoms, and cannot cure the disease.
