It ought to be mentioned that 13-year-old Jonathan Price had died on Sunday, at the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center. Just prior to his death, he had suffered a cardiac arrest too. There were speculations that the real cause of his death might have had been the bite of a spider, as there was a small bump on his body.
