It now transpires that Nicky sadly passed away when the 11-year-old was rushed to the ICU for lack of oxygen to his brain in what is believed to be a freak accident.

The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with medical and funeral costs. You can donate by clicking here.

It's with a broken heart that I tell you Nicky passed this afternoon, shortly after @AJStylesOrg's phone call to my uncle.
