An eighth grade Missouri boy died over the weekend of Covid-19 complications, becoming the state's, and one of the nation's, youngest deaths from the coronavirus.
In a statement, Dr. Lori VanLeer, superintendent of Missouri's Washington School District, said that the Baumgarth family confirmed their 13-year-old son Peyton had passed away from complications of the virus.
VanLeer said Peyton died less than two weeks after he last attended class.
The boy's last day of eighth grade was on October 22. He began a quarantine on October 26.
