Neighbors and teachers in Chicago\u2019s Gage Park neighborhood are remembering a 12-year-old boy who on Thursday became the youngest known person to die from the coronavirus in Cook County, according to officials.<\/p>\n

Ernesto Guzman, 12, died from pneumonia and a COVID-19
\ninfection with asthma, sleep apnea and Charcot-Marie Tooth Disorder as
\ncontributing factors, the Medical Examiners\u2019 Office said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could tell they were a very close-knit family,\u201d said Rolando
\nPerez, who lived across from Guzman and his family. \u201cHe was struggling but
\nthere was also a lot of love in that family because there were different
\nsiblings that would come and pick him up or walk him back to bring him back in
\nthe house.\u201d<\/p>\n
