"They told us that while he was doing his solo, he just passed out," said his mother Karolin Moshi. "He collapsed"
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is three weeks away from the culmination of his effort to be reelected to a second term in office, and he had plenty to say on a wide variety of topics as he prepares for the Nov. 8 election against Republican challenger Darren Bailey.
Seventeen-year-old Daniel Moshi was doing the thing he loved most when he unexpectedly died onstage during a tragic incident at a suburban choir event, his family said.
"They told us that while he was doing his solo, he just passed out," said his mother Karolin Moshi. "He collapsed and we don't know anything else."
Moshi, of Franklin Park, was a senior at Leyden High School in District 212. He had plans to attend college next year and dreamed of ending up on Broadway someday.
A photo of Daniel Moshi singing at an unrelated event Karolin Moshi said she had dropped her son off at school Friday, knowing he would be heading to the show choir event that evening. At the time, she said everything seemed normal.
"Actually, I stopped by Starbucks right over here, where he grabbed his macchiato drink and his sandwich. I dropped him off. And he was waiting for his teacher to come, you know, come up and pick him up with his other students that were attending this choir show," she said.
When he arrived at the suburban school for the event, he texted his mother.

Less than two hours later, the family quickly learned everything was not "all good."
"I got the call from his teacher, musical teacher. And she said there's an incident," his father Loden Moshi told NBC Chicago. "That he was singing his solo rehearsal and he collapsed. And now they've given him CPR and taken him to one hospital."
Moshi was performing at the All State Honors Show Choir for the Illinois American Choral Directors Association Friday at Naperville North High School when he became unconscious.
Naperville fire officials confirmed they responded to the high school around 6:18 p.m. for an "unconscious" 17-year-old boy. When fire officials arrived, bystanders were performing CPR on the teen, who was taken to Edwards Medical Center, where he died.
"IL-ACDA is saddened by the loss of this beautiful person who loved to sing," President of IL-ACDA Laura Coster wrote on Facebook following the tragic incident. "Our condolences to his family, the students, the directors, and to... students in the Leyden district."
The DuPage County coroner's office said it was investigating the death, but a cause of death has not been released.
"We came home Saturday morning, I received a call from the DuPage coroner's office and she said, 'Miss Moshi, I'm reaching out to you to let you know that there was nothing wrong with your son. His organs were all healthy, his heart - absolutely nothing wrong with him,'" Karolin Moshi said.
Leyden High School said it is grieving the loss of one of its own and offered support for students struggling with the news.
"This loss impacts our entire Leyden community," a spokesperson for the school told NBC Chicago in a statement Monday. "Our students and staff are grieving and our focus is on their well being. We encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out to a trusted adult and our Student Services department is available to provide support. We are also asking everyone to look after each other during this difficult time."
Moshi's family, who wore blue during their interview with NBC Chicago because it was his favorite color, said they are leaning into their faith to cope with the loss of their son and the lack of answers surrounding his death.
"It's hard. It's not easy," Karolin Moshi said. "You can see my eyes. I've been crying. I can't sleep. I haven't slept since Friday. But it's... I don't know how to explain it... we believe what we believe in. The Lord is keeping us going. It's not easy. We were supposed to buy him a car. We're actually doing his funeral. It's not easy. It's not easy for any parent to go through this because we still don't have answers."
The family remembered Moshi as "honest, so pure, lovable."
"He was amazing," his younger sister Danya Moshi said. "And I feel like people should know that more...If people have siblings, you need to have fun with them. Because if one of them goes away, you feel alone."
This is going to become more common as time rolls on.
Yeah... we know why he died.
17 is the new 87.....
Especially now that the vax is being forced on kids.
rut rho another vaccident?
“he unexpectedly died onstage”
It was the other soloist that was expected to die?
Is it inappropriate to ask THE QUESTION?
This is gonna keep happening until people start to read the dang warning labels.
(The real 'TRUTHFUL' warning labels that will be printed up
at some point in future history - I mean...)
Safe and effective.
sudden teen jab syndrome...
Yup
I wonder how parents will react when most of them realize their children have been mass murdered?
These types of statements will become the new "We have determined this was not an act of terrorism" statements by LEOs.
He died on Friday and they received a call from the coroner on Saturday morning??!!
I am in my 60’s and I have never in my life seen so many young and fit people with no known health problems just up and die, I wonder what could be causing it?? Maybe the CDC is on to something that made them vote to Mandate it for all school children...
NUREMBERG II, It’s way past time...
For the few who will ever consider the possibility, half will just accept it as the cost of being woke.
Well, it’s a good thing that the CDC voted unanimously to include the COVID-19 vaccine as part of the mandatory immunizations that all public school attendees must have.
Not.
I thought dying on stage was when the audience reacted badly?
There is something else to consider. How many drugs are laced with fentynil these days. Of course no one is going to publish if and when he was vaxxed (don’t you wonder why) but maybe he took something off the street that he was told would help him with nerves.
Cognitive dissonance.
