This young man had been missing for 4hrs in severe weather. Before conclusions are made, the whole story should be known. Unfortunately at this time the media does not have all the information and assumptions are being made. We have a young man who just had a shunt revision done 2 weeks prior and suffered from cerebal palsy in severe weather.(hypothermia) Symptoms of Hypothermia

Shivering is typically the first sign of hypothermia. It eventually becomes uncontrollable. However with severe hypothermia, shivering stops. One of the key indicators that the victim has moved from mild/moderate hypothermia to severe hypothermia is that he/she is no longer shivering.

Behavior changes like complaining, difficulty in speaking, and uncoordinated movements. Victims will struggle to perform simple tasks like walking a straight line or zipping up their coat. With severe hypothermia, behavior changes from erratic to apathetic to unresponsive. Uncharacteristic behavior like inappropriate excitement or lethargy, poor judgment, and poor decision making are common.

Read the article, this young man held on to the rail, he did not just jump. Please do not make judgements he will be greatly missed and always loved.

God be with you! Harrison was a loving, caring and extremely kind person. He would never do this on purpose. He could never hurt anyone and he would know how much we are hurting to have him now! I am sure that you spoke before thinking. Harrison had brain surgery three weeks prior to replace a shunt, he seemed fine, he was healing nicely. Something went wrong and we are trying now to figure out exactly what happened. We love and miss him more than words can describe. He was a shining star and touched so many with his kindness. He is with God now and we are thankful that he has no more pain. He will never be replaced and certainly never forgotten!

and the media has never quoted anyone wrong? I bet you have been mistaken as a nice person also. Sometimes people should neither be seen nor heard but that is the glory of Freedom of Speech even ignorant people can voice their opinion, and fortunately there are those of us that can recognize such people.

Desi you are a sick individual. You do not know the whole story. He was a boy with many disabiliteis and just had surgey 2weeks ago on his brain. If this happened to someone in your family would post comments like that to. I think you owe an apology to this family .

That was a very rude comment. This poor family has been suffering. Do you even no how much this is hurting them. You are such a jurk.I think of this the same way i would a paralized person if you tell them that they have something wrong do yo think they like it. Right well think of this the same way the kid had been suffering from disabilities and that was wrong. You definitely owe the whole family an apology. You are such a fool. You Loser!!! That however is no joke like you thought yours was..
