Father Wolf Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 EVERETT, Wash. -- A boy who was in critical condition after he was buried in a backyard sandbox over the weekend died Monday afternoon. According to a statement from Codey Porter?s family, the boy died at Children's Hospital. "We are sad to inform you that Codey Porter passed away today at approximately 3:35 p.m. He passed peacefully, with his family at his side. We appreciate all the support and prayers that we have received. We have decided to honor Codey's memory by making him an organ donor, and a miracle for another family. A memorial fund has been set up for Codey through Gold Creek Community Church on their Web site at: www.goldcreek.org. For security, you will be asked to create an account on the Web site. (Or Donate at:) Gold Creek Community Church: 4326 148th St. SE, Mill Creek, WA., 98012; (425) 316-3333, care of Pastor Dan Kellogg," read the statement. Porter, 10, told playmates to bury his head in sand. He got the idea from a cartoon he watched on television, according to his half-brother, Joshua Quantrille. In the cartoon, called "Naruto," sand is sometimes used as a weapon. The incident happened around 11 a.m. Saturday in the 13800 block of 59th Avenue SE in Everett. Quantrille, 30, told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News that Codey was playing with Quantrille's three sons and several other children in the back yard of a home belonging to a family friend. Quantrille said Codey was buried about from his head to his chest. At some point, he began thrashing around, but the children apparently thought he was playing. Snohomish County spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said the other five children soon realized he wasn't breathing and they dug him out and called for help. Deputies said adults were home at the time of the incident and they administered CPR until aid arrived. Deputies said they talked to the five children to piece together the circumstances surrounding the incident. No children were detained or taken into custody. Hover said on Monday that the sheriff's office completed its investigation and ruled the incident an accident. A note that went to parents of students at Silver Firs Elementary School, where Codey attended fifth grade, said that counselors would be available all day Monday to students who might want to talk about the accident.

Mad Hopz Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Where's the common sense? Why would you bury your head in sand? Besides, even in Naruto, they don't cover each other's heads... What if they imitating the Fire breathing stuff? Would they set themselves on fire? Kids these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaitou Kid Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well this is odd.... The worst ive ever done in the last few years was playing with my bros and slipping on a peice of laundry but nothing like that.*sigh* its not Gaara's fault. the Show NARUTO is ment for entertainment pourposes not to play it in a sand box and burry them. Well i know this was an aciddent because when you repeat things as a child(every1 has done it) you never mean 4 any harm.Well R.I.P Codey Porter.( 1977-2008 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAG Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Wow, I don't know anyone who would actually be dumb enough to even try that. I can only hope that, as Poc pointed out, politicians and protestors don't try to overexaggerate this or anything. Geez... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
