On July 3, Mars was found floating in one of the pools at the Baystone Apartments. The 3-year-old was pronounced dead on July 5, and his family made the difficult decision to donate his organs.
Nurses said they wanted to make Mars' honor walk special by dressing up in masks and capes, as his favorite toys were superheroes.
