From Grand Ledge, Mich.: A 14-year-old boy's sudden cardiac death at football practice led his family to advocate for automated external defibrillators in schools. The boy, a multi-talented student, suffered cardiac arrest during practice. His school had AEDs on site and staff trained in CPR, earning it a "My Heart Safe School" designation.

Despite these measures, the boy did not survive. His parents have since turned their loss into a mission to promote AEDs in schools. Further details about their efforts are available from the source.

The boy's family has spoken about the events surrounding his death, including the phone call his father received and the presence of medical help at the scene.
