BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. (WHDH) — An 8-year-old boy who was rescued from a capsized boat earlier in the week has died, according to Sudbury Public School officials.
In a release sent to parents Sunday, the school said Harry O’Connor, a third-grader at Nixon Elementary School, had passed away.
O’Connor was one of 12 people on board a boat that capsized Wednesday on Cape Cod.
“The O’Connor family would like to thank the community for their support which has been a huge comfort to them at this difficult time,” said school officials in the release sent to parents.
School officials will provide counselling services between 1- 3 p.m. Monday at Nixon Elementary and Curtis Middle School.
