Posted — UpdatedA young man who shared a rare diagnosis with three Wake Forest neighbors died in June, his family said.
WRAL reported in May on four cases of Ewing's Sarcoma among teens who lived within a couple miles of each other. Three of them graduated in 2011 from Wake Forest-Rolesville High School. The fourth, Sylvain Blanco, had returned to his hometown in France before his death.
Since the initial report, state health officials promised a further review of whether the cases are the result of coincidence or a cancer cluster.
