High school senior dies of cardiac arrest after being found unresponsive in bathroom after gym class

Jordan Brister, a senior at Amplus Academy in Las Vegas, was found unresponsive after suffering cardiac arrest for unexplained reasons, his family said.

A family is grieving the loss of a high school senior after he suffered cardiac arrest and was found unresponsive in the school bathroom, they say.

Jordan Brister, 18, died Sunday, Jan. 8, after suffering a cardiac arrest on Jan. 3 during the school day at Amplus Academy in Las Vegas, according to a statement by the school shared by NBC affiliate KSNV. He was found unresponsive in the school bathroom after attending gym class, his family told KSNV.

By the time he was found, there was nothing emergency personnel could do to save him, according to his family. The public charter school said in its statement that its staff provided Brister with “emergency medical attention” until paramedics arrived.

The Clark County Coroner’s Office said the exact cause of Brister’s death is still under investigation, according to KSNV.

Lacie Cowley, a friend of Brister's family who set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses, wrote that Brister "suddenly and unexpectedly suffered cardiac arrest while at school with no explanation as to why."

"Words cannot express what the Brister family is going through and there will never be enough answers as to why this has happened," she continued. "He was an amazing kid who loved life to the fullest."

Brister had plans of joining the military after graduating high school, according to Cowley.

The school also sent its condolences to Brister's family in announcing his death on Facebook on Jan. 9.

Brister's cardiac arrest happened in the same week as the death of another Las Vegas high school student. Ashari Hughes, 16, died after suffering "a medical episode" following a flag football game at Desert Oasis High School on Jan. 5, according to The Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in high-school athletes, according to Dr. Adam Kean at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. Last year, Kean treated high school tennis player Drew Strasser, who suffered cardiac arrest at practice and was saved when his teammate gave him CPR and his coach ran to get an automated external defibrillator (AED) to jolt his heart.

“Even though it is the No. 1 cause, it is remarkably rare, which is important,” Kean told TODAY in October. “We estimate that one in 30,000 children die of cardiac arrest each year, and that sounds incredibly small. But that’s still around 2,000 children in the United States each year.”

While coronary artery disease is usually the culprit in causing sudden cardiac arrest in adults, in some children and teens, it may be caused by heart conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, long QT syndrome or catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.

The deaths of both teens also came after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, 24, collapsed and suffered cardiac arrest on the field following a tackle in a game against the Bengals on Jan. 2. Hamlin was given CPR on the field and taken to a local Cincinnati hospital, where he stayed until his condition improved enough to be transferred to a Buffalo hospital on Jan. 9.

Hamlin's ordeal has brought renewed spotlight to the importance of learning CPR, which includes these seven steps listed by the American Red Cross.

Fearmonger! Why, kids were croaking daily from bad tickers just like this before 2019 and no one made anything of it then. /s

Yep, back in '89 when I graduated, kids were dropping like flies. We were all in fear of sudden cardiac arrest.

Heck, I had to fight off some chest pains myself. /s

Everyone knows the 18-26 year old demographic have always had massive heart attack issues.

Looks like you’re over the target....they had to resort to their lame q idiots smear, again.

All they’ve got left, since everything else they’ve attempted to fling, has fallen flat.

No, just a disproportionate share of the excess deaths.

Which we tried to warn about long before the the deaths actually began happening in these numbers; let alone reached the public consciousness.

This report is from 2016, so it's ptobably proof that the Clot Shot can time travel in order to kill its victims.

Sudden Cardiac Death in Athletes 2016 Apr-Jun

"Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the most frequent medical cause of sudden death in athletes, and estimates vary widely based on the population. "

"The definition of SCD in athletes also varies; some estimates of incidence include only deaths with exertion or shortly (< 1 hour) after exertion, while others include any SCD in an athlete (exertional or outside of exertion) and also episodes of resuscitated sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). These inconsistencies help account for the wide range of estimated incidence of SCD in athletes in prior reports, from 1 in 3,000 up to 1 in 1 million"

"The risk among male Division 1 basketball players has been estimated at more than 10 times that in the overall athlete population (1 in 5,200 vs. 1 in 53,703 athletes per year), which is consistent with prior findings in collegiate and high-school athletes"

The Younger Athlete

"In the majority of U.S. studies, the most commonly identified cause for SCD in young athletes is HCM, a genetic condition characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiac myocyte disarray predisposing to ventricular arrhythmias (Table 2). The prevalence of HCM in the general population is up to 1 in 200 individuals, and in many the first presenting symptom may be SCD. Congenital coronary artery anomalies, consisting of a variety of abnormalities of coronary origin and proximal course, are the second most common cause of SCD in young U.S. athletes, responsible for around 17% of SCD cases. The remaining causes of SCD in athletes include other inherited or acquired myocardial diseases, other structural cardiovascular disease, or primary arrhythmogenic disorders"

Literal guesswork.

Blow smoke harder, troll.

He probably died of climate change.

Or was he doing drugs in the bathroom too?

Careful how you sling that around, it might be ray-ciss.

And if he DID get the jabs, “it could have been so much worse” if he hadn’t right?

The medical profession has tests for such abnormalities. It’s not voodoo magic.

By the way, I value all of our FR family; including you. I would never tell you to “sod off.” In fact, I thought mentioning those conditions—Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Long QT syndrome (LQTS), and Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia—would contribute to a better understanding. Testing for these problems would be as simple as an echocardiogram. Such should be a routine procedure during an athletic physical. By the way, this information was given in the article associated with the post.

Whoever said the vaccine was the cause of all death since 2020, you affirmative action quack?

Shaved apes like you make up a fake reality then argue against it. Get back in the kitchen where you belong. And take off take off them shoes.

I don't either. Thankfully, you haven't characterized me with that name. Let's be FRiends.

Don’t press it.

Supposed scientific pedantry which always falls in favor of the jabs is too close to trolldom for me.

i.e. if the publicity over the deaths is what the late Rush Limbaugh used to call a “journalistic front” then it would have the blessing of the Deep State, and you’d be hearing nothing BUT news stories on it, similar to St. Floyd of Fentanyl. But the news stories die in minutes or hours and are never linked together, and mysteriously, on all right-of-center sites that are not locked down tight, Open-Minded™ and Credentialed™ posters mysteriously chime in ALL posting “whataboutisms” and “Let’s not get carried away” isms, ignoring the vast hysteria over the flash-in-the-pan that was COVID, even aside from the near totalitarianism in China and Canada over it.

The excess deaths are real. The timing is right. The timing of excess deaths following the jabs was noted over a year ago by Johns Hopkins. And there is no other (non-risible) putative cause put forth, except by obvious propagandists who suggest things like “high blood pressure from shaking the sheets while making your bed” and “winter vagina”.

Burden of proof is on the $hot $hill$. And using the word Q-tard means you are the enemy.

That was not meant to accuse YOU of having used the word Q-tard: but to note that those who DO, have given themselves away. G'night.
