Officials have confirmed a teen has died as a result of a lightning strike at Orchard Beach Thursday afternoon.

The FDNY says seven people were hospitalized after emergency crews responded to reports of a lightning strike at the beach.

Police sources say Parks Department crews had started working to clear the beach in Section 10 shortly before 5:30 p.m. as it began raining. That’s when the 13-year-old boy from the Bronx appeared to suffer a direct hit by lightning that sent him flying into the air. He later died, officials say.

Officials identified the 13-year-old boy as Carlos Ramos, of the Bronx.

News 12 caught up with a family friend as she headed to the Ramos' family home. She says she has a deep history with the family, and they are all in shock.

The lightning strikes also injured a 41-year-old man, a 33-year-old woman, a 14-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl, a 12-year-old girl, and a 5-year-old boy. All were taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi and are listed in stable condition.

Family members say they were walking back to the boardwalk when they saw other lightning strikes near them, sending people running for cover.
