ALBION, N.Y. (AP) — A small town in western New York is mourning the loss of a 14-year-old boy who died suddenly after suffering a medical emergency in a middle school swimming pool.
Officials say the boy was stricken during a mid-afternoon gym class on Thursday at a school in Albion, about 35 miles west of Rochester.
The Orleans County coroner says an autopsy determined that the boy died from a medical condition, not because he drowned.
Authorities haven’t released the boy’s name, but said he was a special-needs student well-liked by students and teachers.
