A 10-year-old Rancho Penasquitos boy injured in a bicycle accident a month ago died Friday morning of complications from surgery. Deputy County Coroner William Leard said Sharam Purquriam was pronounced dead at 10:23 a.m. at Children’s Hospital. The cause of death has yet to be determined.
The boy suffered a kidney injury when he fell off his bicycle March 16. According to a hospital spokesman, Sharam had successful surgery March 19, but post-surgical complications set in shortly. The boy had been in critical condition for several weeks, he said. An autopsy will be performed today, but Leard said that the cause of death may not be known until next week.
