A 12-year-old boy and son of a Bradenton orthopedic surgeon was killed in an elevator shaft over the weekend while looking for his pet hamster.

Paramedics and fire rescue responded to the scene and pronounced the boy dead at the scene. Deputies responded at 11:24 a.m.
Maxwell’s father, Patrick, was home at the time of the incident.
Dr. Grablin operates Grablin Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine at 530 5th Street E. He has been in practice since 1997.
