Cartier Woods, an 18-year-old senior at Northwestern High School in Detroit, Michigan, suffered a massive heart attack and collapsed during a Jan. 31 basketball game and died Monday after being placed on life support.
Woods suffered the cardiac event just a few minutes into the contest, shortly after he told head coach George Tyson he was “feeling dizzy.” Tyson was unable to react quickly enough before Woods collapsed on the court, according to the Detroit Free Press.
The coach immediately started to perform CPR on Woods, with first responders arriving at the scene 10 minutes later.
When Woods reached the hospital, doctors restored his heart to a normal rhythm, and he remained on life support until he died Monday.
