A junior student-athlete at Stevens High School died around midnight Tuesday night, hours after passing out at practice, the district said.
SAN ANTONIO — The Northside ISD community is mourning the losses of four active and former high school students who have died since the start of February, district officials say. Two who attended Marshall High School are believed to have died by suicide.
One of those two individuals, a female, died last week, according to district leadership. The other, a male, was actively enrolled as recently as November and died Monday, a staff members told KENS 5.
Another Marshall student, 15-year-old Ziba Mir Shadad, died Monday morning after San Antonio police say she was fatally hit by a commercial trash collection truck on the northwest side. An SAPD sergeant at the scene said they were reviewing video surveillance, but the incident didn’t appear to be criminal in nature.
The most recent death involves a 16-year-old Stevens High School student-athlete who NISD officials said died at the hospital around midnight Tuesday. According to the district, he had passed out hours earlier at practice and was assessed by trainers before EMS took him to a hospital.
The athletic director was with him for much of the night, NISD personnel said, and his coach was at the hospital when he died.
NISD officials say the student, a junior, had a current physical on file allowing him to play in sports.
NISD said several counselors have mobilized to Marshall High School this week to provide services to students and staff who need them.
This is a developing story.
