A 6-year-old boy was taken off life support after he nearly drowned at a water park in Nebraska.

The boy died Wednesday after the near-drowning accident at Fun-Plex, confirmed the Omaha police.

The 6-year-old was identified only by his first name, Kidus.

Officers were called to the water park last Sunday for a report of a child who was underwater and pulled from the wave pool.

He was transported to a nearby hospital and later transferred to Children’s Hospital, where he was removed from life support and died Wednesday.

Kidus’ mother Makda Gebre created a GoFundMe page to help pay for funeral costs and transportation of his body to the family’s hometown of Sioux City, Iowa.

“We are heartbroken as we have to ask for help to bury our son … We were hoping for a miracle, but sadly we had to make the decision to remove him from life support as his brain was showing no activity,” read the GoFundMe page.

Kidus’s mother said he had a twin sister and described him as a “sweet” son who was “everything to our family.”
