A 13 year old boy who has been suffering from hernia defects has died. He died at home on Wednesday night. Earlier in August, the NBC visited the home of Erica Ndeyanale, the mother of 13 year old Simon Boysen who suffered from strangulated hernia from birth. Boysen’s condition was never detected despite multiple sonars and medical examinations until 2016 after his stomach got swollen. A surgery was conducted to remove parts of his small intestines but his condition deteriorated as his body could not keep food or nutrients. Following the broadcast of this story members of the public members contacted the NBC wanting to assist the boy, but the boy who dreamt of becoming a firefighter lost the fight to Hernia last night.
