EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio - The community of East Liverpool is in mourning as health official’s work to determine if a 7-year-old boy's death was a result of the flu.

Calling hours are being held from 2 pm until 8 pm Wednesday at the Dawson Funeral Home for Colton Williams, who died Saturday morning at the emergency room of East Liverpool City Hospital from what authorities suspect are flu-related complications. Services are scheduled at 11 a.m. Thursday at the funeral home.

An autopsy is being conducted to learn more about the specific cause of the child's death.
