Damn didnt realize heat stroke was this dangerous

Edit:
I am sorry for saying that I didnt realize that heat stroke was this dangerous. I will do my research next time before posting.

Terrible. I followed the story without even realizing until this morning I know his mother from Middle school and HS. Good people and just a downright awful nightmare I can't even imagine.

Heat Stroke kills kids every year. It's an actual risk.

We should do all we can to mitigate this

Awful story and can't imagine how the kids and coaches feel that witnessed it.

That's horrible news. I had seen some of the prayer vigils and stuff going around on facebook.

It didn't seem like it was crazy hot over the last week, but you just never know how a person's body is going to react in situations like this.

I have a feeling this will be one of those situations where an unknown medical condition is found after the fact. Heat stroke doesn't ultimately cause you to wind up on ECMO.

Just one of those horribly random outcomes that make you sick to your stomach, the pain of those parents must be unbearable right now

They are still doing planned blood drives in his memory
There’s one at The Blood Center tomorrow and one Sunday at Bass Pro

I can’t imagine what his family is going through

Tragic. My prayers to that family.

My son is a senior and plays here in central Florida. They now have rules of having to call practice based on heat humidity, just has always been the case for lightning proximity. Not sure if La has that.

Hate to hear this.

To the a-hole downvoting these comments of people paying respect, be a man and show yourself. You are a horrible human being that needs his arse kicked.

The mom's FB with pictures of him as a small child were upsetting to see. Prayers to the family.
