Wisconsin toddler dies after swallowing balloon animal piece at Halloween social gathering

Published on



A Wisconsin child died in a horrific accident after a balloon animal popped and lodged in his esophagus at a Halloween social gathering, according to a report.

Devastated mom Kisha Avita-Wilson advised NBC Chicago that her son, Don’Vayaire Avita-Mays — affectionately identified as “Baby Don” by household — died on Oct. 24, just two days before his first birthday at the social gathering.

“We were keeping the balloons away from Baby Don, and one of the balloons came undone,” Avita-Wilson advised the outlet.

“He grabbed it, and he bit it, and when he bit it, it shot the tied-up part into the bottom of his esophagus,” she recounted. 

“I grabbed him immediately out of his car seat. I performed CPR … I stuck my fingers down his throat,” Avita-Wilson continued.

“The person that I was with tried to do the same things also, and he turned blue immediately and went into cardiac arrest.”

First responders rushed to take away the rubber piece from the 11-month-old’s throat with a tube and pliers, but their efforts were tragically in useless.

“It was nothing that we could have done to save my baby boy,” Avita-Wilson said. 

“I don’t like to talk about him in past tense, but he isn’t here with us any longer.”

Avita-Wilson, who is at present seven months pregnant, has skilled contractions and untimely dilation due to the extreme stress of her grief, according to a GoFundMe web page set up for the household’s funeral bills.

“He was a handsome little boy whose laugh was infectious, whose smile could light up any room, and who was loved by so many,” Avita-Wilson’s aunt, Mary Lott, wrote in the GoFundMe description.

“We ask that everyone continues to pray for Kisha, her girls and especially her unborn child,” Lott continued.

Avita-Wilson is calling for larger advertising restrictions on balloon merchandise.

“Balloons have warnings on them, but that is not enough,” she advised NBC. 

“They should stop selling them. Stop marketing them to kids. Stop producing them.”
