Heartbreak as Levi Wright, 3, Dies After Parents Make Agonizing Choice to End Life Support Following Tragic Accident
Levi Wright, the three-year-old son of rodeo star Spencer Wright, passed away just hours after his devastated parents made the heart-wrenching decision to remove him from life support. His death came 12 days after a tragic accident that left him critically ill when he fell into a fast-moving river in Utah while riding his toy tractor.
Levi’s mother, Kallie Wright, immediately jumped into the river in a desperate attempt to save her son after he disappeared beneath the rushing waters in Beaver County.
Initially, doctors feared the worst and believed Levi was brain dead. However, hope briefly flickered when the toddler appeared to show signs of waking up in the hospital, raising his family’s spirits and inspiring millions who followed his story worldwide.
Despite the glimmer of hope, the family’s nightmare deepened when doctors confirmed that Levi’s condition had not improved. On Sunday, Kallie, 34, made the heartbreaking decision to take him off life support. Family friend Mindy Sue Clark shared the tragic news on Monday that Levi passed away later that same day.
“I cannot even begin to explain how hard the last two weeks have been. From the moment my phone rang the night of his accident to receiving the message last night that he had to go,” Clark wrote in a moving Facebook post.
Levi’s tragic struggle captivated the hearts of people around the world as his family shared updates about his condition. The dinosaur-loving toddler was rushed to Beaver County Hospital by ambulance before being airlifted to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City.
Doctors initially gave a devastating prognosis, believing Levi had suffered brain death due to oxygen deprivation from being underwater. However, Levi’s father, Spencer Wright, shared that the family had witnessed “multiple small miracles” as the little boy’s heart continued to beat on its own, giving them hope.
Levi’s journey, marked by hope, devastation, and unimaginable loss, touched countless lives, leaving a legacy of love, resilience, and community support in the face of tragedy.
