 A 13-year-old Florida boy lost his life inside of a tube slide at a playground, leaving behind a shocked and grief-stricken family. The heartbreaking discovery was made when a father took his two children to Shenandoah Park in Miami on September 25th to work out some energy.  What they discovered when trying to use the tube slide may keep these young children from ever playing in an enclosed slide again. 13-year-old Olvin Ballladares was inside of the slide ...and unresponsive.  According to reports, Olvin had gone to the park that morning instead of school. While at the park, Olvin had attempted to slide down the tube slide. While traveling down the slide, Olvin's shirt became caught on a screw and pulled tight around his neck, cutting off his supply to oxygen.  From the way that he was discovered, it appears Olvin had realized what was happening and tried to free himself but was unable.

 Rugby icon Scott Hastings passes after cancer battle, family shares emotional message


Scottish rugby is mourning the loss of Scott Hastings, who passed away at 61 after a long battle with cancer.


Hastings, widely recognised as one of Scotland’s most respected rugby players, had reportedly been receiving treatment for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of cancer affecting white blood cells. 


According to a statement released by his family, complications connected to treatment caused his condition to worsen quickly.


His children, Corey and Kerry-Anne Hastings, confirmed that he passed peacefully on the morning of May 17 while surrounded by family members.


In an emotional message shared through Scottish Rugby, the family reflected on the timing of his passing, noting that the day also marked the birthday of his late wife, Jenny, a detail they described as deeply meaningful.


The statement praised medical staff who cared for Hastings during his final days, thanking the intensive care team at the hospital for their efforts and asking for privacy as the family processes the loss.


The former Scotland centre had already experienced enormous personal heartbreak in recent years following the loss of his wife, Jenny, in 2024 after a long struggle with mental health challenges. Hastings had previously spoken openly and compassionately about the difficulties she faced over many years, describing both her warmth and the challenges their family endured.


Friends and supporters often saw Hastings speak with honesty about grief, love and resilience after her passing, while continuing to lean on memories built across their decades together.


On the field, Hastings built an outstanding legacy in Scottish rugby. He became Scotland’s most-capped male centre and played a key role in the nation’s famous Grand Slam-winning side in 1990, sharing that historic achievement with his brother, Gavin Hastings.
