It's April 23rd, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today. AI-powered and star driven. Netflix's running point dropped a heartfelt tribute in Season 2 Episode 3 for Niko Mihailovic, a 15-year-old varsity volleyball standout. From Los Angeles, the card read in Loving Memory of Number 6, the kid's jersey number, after he passed from sudden cardiac arrest last April. He was a freshman at Campbell Hall, the private school he'd gone to since kindergarten, and super active in sports his whole life. Turns out, running point was the very last show he watched with his family before everything changed. His mom and sister opened up about how healthy and driven he seemed, always playing volleyball. He even picked it up because of her, building this, tight bond. No signs at all, just collapsed one morning, with big division one dreams ahead. The school stepped up quick, retiring his number 6 jersey to keep his spirit on the court. From the cast from the pit, got in on it, posting green hearts with his picture to honor

his legacy. Tribbies like these hit hard, reminding us how fragile life can be, especially for young athletes full of fire.
