Good evening I'm Jean Jadhon and this is News 7 at Five.

of one of their own.
Senior Grayson Hooper died yesterday afternoon at the school- the victim of
an apparent heart attack.

Hooper was captain of the football team, and a member of the wrestling
team.
He had complained of feeling ill after running around the school's

Hooper had been resting for about 45 minutes when he went into cardiac

It's a scenario that's unfortunately been seen before.

of cardiac failure-- while practicing on the ice with his wife.

This weekend, in New York, University of Massachusetts star basketball
player Marcus Camby collapsed and fell unconscious just before a game.
Camby is luckier-- he reportedly feels fine today-- though he's still
undergoing testing.
In his case, heart problems have been ruled out.
For the parents of young athletes, the odds-- though slim, are striking a
nerve.
Grayson Hooper's autopsy results aren't in yet, but the most common cause
of sudden death among young athletes is a condition known as hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy-- involving an abnormal thickening of the heart muscle.

Causes like an abnormal origin of one of the coronary arteries that bring
