Officials say one of two children who were rushed to a hospital on Labor Day after being rescued from Lake Nokomis has died.
Ten-year-old Hussane Abdi Ali died on Sept. 12, six days after he and the other child were pulled from the lake, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Saturday. His cause of death is listed as complications from drowning.
The condition of the other child is unknown.
Minneapolis fire officials said Sept. 6 that both boys were unconscious after being pulled from the water, so CPR was performed. Both were rushed to a local hospital via ambulance.
A Minneapolis Fire Department spokesperson said the other child, an 8-year-old boy, was in the water for longer. The boy was not breathing but did have a pulse when he was first rescued.
According to the Minneapolis Park Board, the incident occurred near the lake's main beach. The park board said lifeguards were on duty and assisted performing CPR.
