PORTSMOUTH, Va (WAVY) - A Hampton Roads boy with a mysterious disease died in Richmond Wednesday.

Three-year-old Christian Susko was in a coma for more than two months at VCU hospital in Richmond.

Doctors induced the coma because it was the only way to stop his seizures.

Friends will raise money to help the family with funeral expenses.
