Memphis, tan. (WMC/Gray News) – A second grade student in Tennessee died after she collapsed while she was at school earlier this week.
According to the Memphis School in Libertas, a Montessori school located in Edenburg Drive, the student, later identified as 8-year-old Chloi Williams, was on the playground on Monday when he suddenly collapsed.
School officials said several employees rushed to help the girl and the paramedics transport her to a district hospital.
Unfortunately, she does not survive.
Libertas CEO Bob Nardo said the cause of Chloe’s death remains unclear, but seems to be from internal medical reasons.
“I hope we can join the prayer and support the family,” Nardo said.
Chloe’s mother shared that her daughter is a “sunlight wherever she went.” She enjoyed helping others and hoped to become a nurse when she was old.
Two funds have been created online to help the family: Get them food and gofundme for funeral costs.
