A 15-year-old boy in New York unexpectedly died Wednesday after collapsing during a high school basketball tryout, a teen who was seemingly in good health, his heartbroken parents say.
“My baby. … I don’t even know. A healthy 15-year-old. I don’t know, I don’t understand,” Wofford told NBC New York through tears while wearing her late son’s sweatshirt and his school identification card.Payton's parents did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment. Principal Joseph M. Agosta and district Superintendent Kathleen Bannon informed parents Wednesday in letters of a student death, a district spokeswoman said.
“The Walter G. O’Connell Copiague High School has experienced the death of a student that has affected us deeply,” the letter said. “As a school staff, we encourage you to listen carefully to your child, answer questions openly and honestly if they occur, and let your child know that even adults do not have all the answers to the questions they may have. Accepting your child’s feelings and validating these feelings will be beneficial.
