A family is in mourning after a 17-year-old high schooler from Georgia suddenly collapsed and died during a summer conditioning program for her school's dance team.
Elyse Purefoy, who had just finished her junior year, was running on the track behind Arabia Mountain High School in Lithonia, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, when she unexpectedly collapsed, her father told Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB."Elyse was just very determined, hard working, she was a 3.9 [GPA] student," father Hank Purefoy told WSB."Like they said, she had all the accolades. She worked very hard this year; she outworked everybody.
The temperature was 84 degrees in Atlanta on Monday, which was actually cooler than a run of 12 straight 90-degree days in late May. "The entire DeKalb County School District community, and especially the Arabia Mountain High School family, mourns the passing of a member of the school’s dance team," DeKalb County School District said in a statement."Our hearts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time."
Hank Purefoy said his daughter had never had health troubles and seemed completely normal Monday morning.
