Sacramento student dies after warmups
SACRAMENTO, CA Twin Rivers Unified School District spokeswoman Trinette Marquis
says the boy was warming up for a physical education class at Grant
Union High School-West Campus when he collapsed.
Teachers did not notice any problems with 15-year-old Jaazaniah
McGee after he completed a quarter-mile jog with classmates and
returned to the school gym. After he collapsed, he was taken by
ambulance to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Officials say the teenager had no history of medical problems.
It was the second death this month of a Sacramento-area high
school student during a physical activity. On Sept. 2, 14-year-old
Center High School student Brandon Mitchell Baker collapsed and
died after a junior varsity soccer practice.
