The boy reportedly showed 'signs of potential illness' on Monday and was taken with his father to a hospital in Alamogordo, New Mexico. There, he was diagnosed with a cold and a fever and given medication. He was released on Monday afternoon but returned to the same hospital in the evening with nausea and vomiting. He died just hours later.
