A six-year-old boy died suddenly from a heart attack last week while posing for a team photo on a baseball field in Georgia.
Brantley Chandler was on the field with his teammates as they prepared to take the photo when he collapsed on Thursday.
His mother, Meghan Bryson, said her son loved baseball and he was the catcher for the Rock Spring Mustangs
Six-year-old Brantley Chandler (pictured) died suddenly from a heart attack last week while posing for a team photo on a baseball field in Georgia. This is the last photo of Brantley, taken right before his death
The Rock Spring Athletic Association (RSAA) will hold a special tribute to Brantley on April 13. In a Facebook post, the RSAA wrote that Brantley 'was a joy to watch play baseball and always had a smile on his face'
Bryson told WTVC that her son was born with a rare congenial heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).
The syndrome prevents the left side of the heart from developing normally.
Brantley was just two weeks
