Lucas Osuna, a prized member of the Belen Jesuit Preparatory School water polo team, tragically died during a tournament at the age of 15. His sudden demise is attributed to a spontaneous aortic rupture that may have been linked to an undiagnosed genetic condition. Lucas’ family, mourning this profound loss, seeks to ensure that his death does not deter other children from participating in athletics. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, a family friend, spoke on behalf of the family, highlighting their reliance on faith during this challenging time, while they continue to pursue answers regarding Lucas’ health.
Lucas was the eldest son of my dear friend Mike, whom I've known for years through our time training together in Coconut Grove. My heart breaks for him and his family.
They are people of deep faith, and they're leaning on that faith-and each other-to get through the unimaginable.
Lucas' family asked Miami Mayor Francis Suarez to be their spokesperson as they mourn a heavy loss.
They emphasize that they were unaware of the underlying condition and continue to seek answers through further medical review.
