Clark High School Student Collapses During Workout
On April 2, 2009, at 6:05 p.m. Plano Fire Department crews were dispatched to Plano
East Senior High School where a 16-year-old male had collapsed while working out
during football practice. The student was a sophomore attending Clark High School in Plano.
Upon the fire department’s arrival a Plano Independent School District coach and trainer were performing CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) on the student. The school’s AED (automated external defibrillator) had been used on the student as well.
Plano Fire Department crews took over care of the patient and transported him to Medical Center of Plano where he later died. His body has been transferred to the Collin County Medical Examiner.
