13-year-old teenager falls ill during test and dies in Nova Ubiratã

According to information obtained by the report through audios sent by Arthur's father to colleagues, the teenager began to feel ill shortly after completing the race. He used a nebulizer, popularly known as a “pump”, because he was asthmatic, but his condition worsened.

"Unfortunately, I lost my son in the race here in Nova Ubiratã. He participated in the race, at the end of the race he fell ill. He was taken to the ambulance and taken to the hospital, but unfortunately at Nova Ubiratã Hospital, we were unable to save our son", said the father.

Even after using the medication, Arthur needed to be attended to by rescuers at the event. He was taken by ambulance to the municipal hospital, but he did not survive and died in the health unit.

"I lost my boy, man. After the race, he felt sick. He arrived at the end, he drank water, all of it, but he started to feel sick, he used the pump, because he has asthma, he went to the ambulance. The ambulance staff attended to him, but then he started to get worse. He went to the hospital, which isn't that far away, it's close by, quickly, but unfortunately he arrived already blue.
