Services Set For Hollywood Boy Who May Have Died From Meningitis

HOLLYWOOD (CBS4) - A visitation will be held Monday for a Hollywood first grader who may have died from meningitis.

The service for Henry Buchanan, 7, will be held at 4 p.m. at the Levitt-Weinstein Memorial Chapel in North Miami Beach at 18840 W Dixie Highway. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at the Little Flower Catholic Church, at 1805 Pierce Street, in Hollywood.

Buchanan, who attended the Beachside Montessori School, died last Wednesday, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

Broward's health department is waiting on test results to confirm whether he died from bacterial meningitis. The results are also expected to show if it was meningitis, which strain he died of.

School officials have notified the parents whose children may have come in contact with the boy. They're being urged to watch for warning signs including a rash and stiff muscles.

Friends of Buchanan, who was an avid Miami Heat fan, reached out to the team to see if they could do something special in his memory. Team officials said they would show his picture on the big screens at the AmericanAirlines Arena before Sunday's big game against the Dallas Mavericks.

They also invited the Buchanan family to attend the game as their guests.
