PHILADELPHIA, PA.; November 17, 2009 (WPVI) -- Michael Hirsch has informed Action News that his son Kevin passed away Wednesday morning due to the H1N1 virus and a secondary infection of pneumonia. Their story was aired Tuesday night on Action News.
Mr. Hirsch thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
He says Kevin was a happy-go-lucky young man. He was physically healthy before getting the H1N1 virus.
Mr. Hirsch urges others to be vaccinated against H1N1, if not for yourself but to protect others.
A single father of three says he's always done everything he can to keep his children safe and healthy, and now he urges other parents to do the same and have their kids vaccinated against the virus.
"Very innocent and happy," is how Michael Hirsch described his 26-year-old son Kevin.
He was a hardworking employee at McDonald's, mentally challenged but always healthy physically - until a few weeks ago.
