An eight-year-old boy died just hours after being diagnosed with sflu.
Martin Ray 'Chucky' Campbell Jr was six days from turning nine when he fell ill, repeatedly vomiting, on the night of Saturday February 16.
The next day, his family rushed him to a local hospital in Rockport, on the coast of Texas near Corpus Christi, where he was diagnosed with flu.
They went to get Tamiflu but he was getting weaker and weaker, so they decided to take him to another hospital.
At an ER in nearby Portland, doctors found his lungs were filled with fluid.
He died hours later, days before his ninth birthday on Sunday 24 February.
Tragic: Martin Ray 'Chucky' Campbell Jr passed away last Sunday after a short battle with flu
Chucky was days away from turning nine years old when he became very sick
Officials have yet to confirm the exact cause of death and what strain of flu Chucky tested positive for.
His death comes as health officials warn that we are seeing the emergence of a second, more deadly flu strain this season.
Until now, the dominant strain has been H1N1, which is much more mild than last year's H3N2, which killed 80,000 Americans.
But every year there are secondary waves of flu strains in the latter half of flu season - from around March.
Tests suggest that this year, H3N2 is emerging as a secondary strain, accounting for almost half of all new diagnoses, according to the CDC.
It's yet another reason to get a flu shot, even this late in the season, CDC officials said.
Loved: Chucky's aunt Jessiva Solis said he was always loud, bubbly, smiley and loving
It's not clear whether Chucky had his flu shot or not.
His family is devastated.
'Martin Jr. laughed and smiled throughout his 9 short years with us, bringing such joy and happiness to everyone he touched,' the family wrote in an obituary.
'He had a lot to say, and now it's just quiet,' his aunt, Jessica Solis, told KRISTV.com.
'There's nothing; his room's quiet, there's just nothing there, and it doesn't make sense.'
The local community has rallied round Chucky's parents, stepfather, older brother, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins by holding a barbecue in his honor.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
