Elk Grove Middle School Student Collapses, Dies During Basketball Practice

ELK GROVE (CBS13) — A middle-school student has died after collapsing during a basketball practice on Friday.

The 12-year-old boy from Toby Johnson Middle School collapsed with what appeared to be a leg cramp on the right side during a basketball practice. When coaches went to the student's aid, they found he was having difficulty breathing and no pulse.

The student was rushed to the hospital, but was pronounced dead at 8:05 p.m.

The Elk Grove Unified School District says the basketball practice was held by a private group not affiliated with the school district.
