The family and loved ones of a 10-year-old boy are demanding answers after he died following a fight at a US trampoline park.
Anthony Duran was playing basketball with other children at the Rockin’ Jump Trampoline Park in Merced, California mid-last week when he and another child got into a brief fight, Merced Police said.
Anthony collapsed and the other child fled.
Bystanders rendered first aid including CPR, until Anthony could be taken to hospital, where he later died.
Police have since identified the child Anthony had fought with and said they had been in contact with their parents throughout the investigation.
Police said an autopsy was underway to determine the cause of death.
