While an exact cause of death has yet to be revealed, Fowler had been battling autoimmune enteropathy — a condition that prevents the body from absorbing nutrition — since 2015, according to a GoFundMe page set up in his honor.
“Antwain has been hospitalized a countless number of times due to his poor health condition. Antwain has undergone over 25 surgeries. Like normal infants, Antwain could not drink milk or eat solid foods during his earlier childhood,” the fundraising page states.
“The first four years of Antwain’s life was an everlasting fight and very crucial experience for his family,” the statement continues
