On May 21, Levi Wright rode his toy tractor into a river near his family’s Utah home. Local law enforcement received an emergency call and found Levi unconscious about a mile downstream. He was then airlifted to a hospital in Salt Lake City, where he remained in the ICU for two weeks. Initially, there was hope that Levi might recover as he woke up just two days after he was previously considered brain dead. However, the following day, his mother, Kallie, shared that Levi’s scheduled MRI results were not promising.

The news of Levi’s passing comes shortly after Kallie posted on Facebook on Sunday, June 2, stating that after days of researching, consulting with neurologists and prayer, they made the tough decision of “letting him go.”
“After several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world’s best neurologists & millions of prayers we are here in the face of our biggest fear,” Kallie wrote. “Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this. We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go.”
Sheriff said child drove toy tractor into water
On the day of the accident, the Beaver County Sheriff’s Office reported deputies responded to a report of a child who had driven their toy tractor into water, and witnesses at the scene had lost visual contact with the boy. The boy was “quickly located,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a release, and life saving measures were administered on scene. He was then transported to a hospital, the release continues, and taken by medical helicopter to a children’s hospital in Salt Lake City.
“I cannot even begin to explain how hard the last two weeks have been. From the moment my phone rang the night of his accident, to last night receiving the message that he had to go,” Clark wrote on Monday in a Facebook post.
