Paramedics rushed the 15 year-old freshman to the hospital, where he later died.

If he made it to the hospital alive I don't see how choking could have been the primary cause of death.

I would attribute that to sloppy reporting. He was probably "declared dead" at the hospital. Your EMTs aren't going to declare a child dead in the field in a case like this. No way.
