In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the three-year-old son of rodeo superstar Spencer Wright has been declared brain dead following a devastating accident involving a toy tractor and a swift river in Beaver County, Utah.
Levi Wright vanished beneath the water’s surface along with his toy truck, triggering a frantic search effort spearheaded by the Beaver County Sheriff’s Office and local firefighters. Despite heroic attempts by his mother to rescue him, Levi was airlifted to a hospital in Salt Lake City, where medical professionals, though successful in restoring his heartbeat, concluded that irreversible brain damage had occurred.
The Wright family, in a poignant Facebook post, shared their sorrow, acknowledging the impossibility of Levi’s recovery. Seeking solace and strength, they requested prayers from well-wishers as they navigate this unimaginable loss.
While Levi remains under care at Salt Lake City Hospital, hopes for his survival dwindle amidst statements from family spokesperson Mindy Sue Clark, who emphasizes Levi’s current condition and the family’s unwavering vigil by his side. The rodeo community, renowned for its resilience and solidarity, rallies around the Wrights during this trying time, offering unwavering support to one of their own. ProRodeo CEO Tom Glause extends heartfelt condolences, echoing the sentiment of a community united in grief.
