RIP Ricky Joassaint
On June 13th, 13-year-old Ricky Joassaint and four friends went to Prospect Park Lake. It was Ricky’s first time at the lake. (Source) Ricky went under the water. He was pulled out and brought to the hospital.
At New York-Presbyterian/Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, Ricky remained on life support and in a coma.
His mother flew in from the Caribbean to be with him.
On July 5th, Ricky died after being in the hospital for three weeks.
A Go Fund Me was created to defray costs. (See here)
RIP Ricky. Prayers for his family and friends.
