A 16-year-old boy from Bucyrus, Ohio died three weeks after being injured playing basketball at Calvary Baptist Church with friends on Saturday Feb. 27.

According to CBS Local, Noah Lear, went in for a dunk when the backboard and rim fell on top of him.

We were told that due to the lack of oxygen to his brain, the part that controls the body's vitals such as blood pressure, heart rate and temperature, is no longer working.
