How awful. Sending prayers for the family.

Sounds like the ultimate in torturous pain.
Hope there’s an autopsy. Don’t they usually do one when death reason is unknown?

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is more common in boys, but it can happen to girls. I wonder if that’s what happened. So sad. Prayers for the family.

Retired PE teacher in EBR. We lost a male student in my class 3 years before I retired. Very tough situation. Had a Defibrillator on the wall, put it on him. It detected no heart beat. Shocked him, no heart beat. The school nurse and myself started CPR. EMT arrived and took over. They air med to NOLA. Unfortunatly young man passed away next day. Very traumatic memory for everone involved.

Terrible. I'm assuming undiagnosed heart defect?
Usually undiagnosed congenital cardiac malformation (like what killed Pete Maravich) or an electrical issue with the heart. Sadly these can be very difficult to diagnose even with advanced testing and are near impossible to pick up on a routine sports physical.

The story says an 8th grade girl, I hope it’s not toxic shock syndrome.

It happened to a football teammate my freshman year (97) at practice. Sprints at the end of practice, he stopped and said he couldn’t breathe. Coach told him don’t be a p****, he collapsed right after..
We practiced literally across the street from Children’s Hospital’s emergency room in City Park and they were unable to save him.
The team had a meeting the next day where the coach insisted we return to practice as soon as possible. He also said a line I’ll never forget at the meeting, “You’re not going to die out there”.
Times have changed.

It still had to be caused by something, right? Seizures typically don't just happen without a pre-existing medical condition, right?

I hope you take solace in knowing you did everything right to give this kid a fighting chance. You did better than 99% of bystanders would do.

Hearing it was a seizure
Did the kid have a seizure history? If not it probably wasn’t a seizure. Hypoxia (from your heart not circulating blood) sometimes causes seizure-like activity.

My daughter unfortunately was in the class at pe. Her telling us what happened (not sharing details) it wasn’t seizures. It had to have been sudden cardiac arrest. Shook my girl and her sister to tears. Long night of talking. We pray for the parents and family. Such a devastating shock to the innocence of childhood.

WPW or some other conduction abnormality.
