Re article link at top about 14 year old death

Wow He had a "short" bout with apnea when he was 5? It goes away? Could this be a factor in his death at 14 somehow?

Winston Sewell

The shocking death of a teenager who collapsed on a Brooklyn basketball court remained a mystery yesterday after an autopsy was inconclusive.
As the devastated family of 14-year-old Winston Travis Sewell made funeral arrangements, the medical examiner began further heart and tissue tests to try to determine why the boy went into cardiac arrest Tuesday.

The sudden death baffled the teen's family, who said the boy's most serious health problem was a bout of sleep apnea when he was 5.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I don't even want to go there. Did he have apnea all along that from the time he was five, went untreated; thereby causing damage to his cardiovascular system which led to his death at 14??? Could that be the devastating reality of the situation? We will have to wait and see what the autopsy shows. My prayers are with that poor family and an extra prayer for that young man who definitely left here far before his time. How horribly tragic.
