Another young one taken.

Olisadike Okoye and another boy were playing near the icy edge of the Rideau River when Okoye slipped and fell in at about 2 p.m.

A person walking by with their dog called 9-1-1, said fire service spokesman Marc Messier.

Emergency crews rushed to the scene and a firefighter spotted Okoye floating 800 metres downstream near Strathcona Park. The firefighter waded into the water and brought Okoye to shore, said Messier.

He had no vital signs.

This story personally hits me because Olisadike was one of the children that I had the pleasure of working with in the summer of 2010. Olie was the type of child who would do anything as long as if it had to deal with having fun or going outdoors. He was a sweet child and honestly, is someone who I would never forget about. He loved all sports and was a kind and smart child. It breaks my heart to see someone so young and so smart and someone that I just saw not to long ago pass away. He didn't even get to live his life. It's sad, but its Gods plan.

The family is having a hard time to raise the money for a proper burial for Olisadike. I am personally going to do everything in my power to raise as much money as I can for Olies burial, but help is always wanted and needed and cherished and rewarded by Allah, Insha'allah please brothers and sisters just do your best to help out with the fundraising for Ollies burial
