Five-year-old Enzo Wilson has succumbed to the injuries he suffered in a fire in the Cowichan Valley late on Halloween night.

According to his aunt, Darla Smith, Enzo was originally thought to have sustained burns to 36 per cent of his body, but it was later discovered that 50 per cent of his body was burned. He underwent two surgeries last week, but developed an infection due to the burns and died on Monday morning. Enzo was scheduled for a third surgery on Monday, but because of his health it was determined to be too risky.

sa国际传媒淭he medical team at the Pediatric ICU at the B.C. Childrensa国际传媒檚 hospital worked tirelessly at Enzosa国际传媒檚 side but he was no longer responding to treatments,sa国际传媒� Smith said.

Smith also shared a statement from Enzosa国际传媒檚 grandmother, Lucetta George-Grant: sa国际传媒淗e was our strongest, toughest, most bravest little warrior that succumbed to his injuries.sa国际传媒�
