Rick Folbaum reports that while the child was running around with his classmates on the school playground on field day, he suddenly fell to the ground and stopped breathing. After teachers immediately called 911, CPR was performed. His mother, who was volunteering at the school that day, rushed to his side as he was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.

The school’s Superintendent Dave Peden commented, “I don’t think this ever happens. Car accidents happen, injuries at sporting events happen, a six-year-old boy … doesn’t die on the playground.”

An autopsy is to be done to find out if he had any pre-existing heart problems that may have lead to this horrible tragedy.
