4-Year-Old Boy Stops Breathing, Dies Week After Common Activity Almost Every Kid Enjoys

In Texas, a tragic incident highlights the danger of dry drowning, claiming the life of 4-year-old Francisco Delgado III a week after a family swim. Known as “Baby Frankie,” he initially showed only upset stomach symptoms, which seemed to improve. Suddenly, in the night, Frankie stopped breathing, with his father recalling, “Out of nowhere, he just woke up. He said ahhh.” Rushed to the hospital, doctors diagnosed dry drowning, finding fluid in his lungs and around his heart.

Dry drowning occurs hours or days post-water inhalation, causing symptoms like troubled breathing, coughing, and fatigue. Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Purva Grover stresses vigilance after water exposure, as symptoms may emerge a while later. Despite rarity, Dr. Grover advises seeking professional opinion following near-drowning incidents. Dr. Kay Leaming-Van Zandt from Texas Children’s Hospital underscores the swift and silent nature of drowning, cautioning that even a few inches of water can be perilous. Parents must remain alert to this uncommon but serious risk.
