State health officials are investigating the death of an 8-year-old Kings Park boy while speculation swirls a recent flu inoculation is to blame.
Sean Weisse was hospitalized for a fever and sore throat. He died Sunday at Stony Brook University Medical Center after being taken off life support.
A family friend who didn't want to go on camera tells News 12 Long Island many in the community fear Weisse?s death is connected to the seasonal flu shot he received a week ago.
While state health department officials say the boy?s death most likely isn?t linked to the vaccine, it?s also possible a cause of death won?t be found.
