| Jermaine Cullum |
Despite the heroic efforts of two
prep basketball spectators, doctors could not save the life of a
Chicago teen who collapsed during a game at Riverside (Ill.) Brookfield
High this past weekend. In a
tragic roller coaster of emotions,
Christ the King Jesuit College Prep sophomore Jermaine Cullum fell to the floor after converting a layup during Saturday's tournament at the suburban school, according to the Chicago Tribune. A registered nurse in the stands immediately responded to an apparent seizure, a doctor working the concession stand followed suit, and the two helped restore Cullum's pulse using CPR.
The
doctor, Maurice Binns, orchestrated the efforts of paramedics in an
ambulance as they rushed Cullum to Loyola University Medical Center,
where he reportedly remained in critical condition the following day.
However, the boy died on Monday as the result of a still unknown heart
condition
