The parents of a high school basketball player who collapsed while practicing in sweltering heat and later died announced that they have agreed to a $10 million settlement with the school district. “We'd trade everything to have her back here with us.”
ATLANTA — The parents of a Georgia high school basketball player who collapsed while practicing outdoors in sweltering heat and later died announced Tuesday that they have agreed to a $10 million settlement with the school district.
Imani's father, Eric Bell, called the renaming of the gym a “great honor,” but said the settlement is “bittersweet.”Imani collapsed on Aug. 13, 2019, after running up the football stadium steps during required conditioning drills for the girls' basketball team, her family said in the wrongful death lawsuit filed against administrators at the school. The temperature was in the high 90s Fahrenheit at the time and the area was under a heat advisory.
Two coaches, Larosa Walker-Asekere and Dwight Palmer, were indicted in July 2021 on charges including murder and child cruelty in Imani’s death. That criminal case is ongoing. “It sends a nationwide message to every school district and every athletic program ... that the lives of our children matter over athletics, and every district needs to realize that no child should die from heat exhaustion," he said. "We salute Clayton County for sending that message nationwide.”A Clayton County Public Schools statement released Tuesday said the district is pleased to have reached “the best possible resolution of this tragic case.
