The Normal Fire Department confirmed on Facebook that Edder Diaz had died.
Early Sunday, Nov. 2, the fire department responded to the call of a mobile home fully engulfed with people still trapped inside, according to Fire Inspector Matt Swaney.
Firefighters forced their way through the exterior wall of the burning bedroom and found Diaz on the floor, showing no signs of life.
Swaney said two firefighter-paramedics transitioned immediately to life-saving resuscitation and he regained a pulse en route to the hospital.
Later that same day, Diaz was transferred to the burn unit in Springfield.
The post said that Diaz was a seventh-grade student at Parkside Junior High School. Unit 5 is offering counseling resources for students and faculty.
There is a Redder for Edder benefit run planned for 9 a.m. on Nov. 22. The run is to honor Diaz, who had just completed his cross-country running season.
Arrangements for Diaz are pending.
