13-Year-Old Football Player Dies After Going Into Cardiac Arrest During Practice
Doctors suspect a genetic condition may have caused the collapse, and the family has raised more than $32,000 for medical and travel costs.
- Caden Sorrell, a 13-year-old student at Northwest Guilford Middle School in Greensboro, North Carolina, died on Sunday, August 30, following cardiac arrest during football practice on Friday, August 28.
- A GoFundMe was established to help the Sorrell family with funeral and medical expenses, as his siblings require specialist evaluations following doctors' belief in an underlying genetic condition.
- Vanessa Clark, Sorrell's sister, remembered him as "brilliant, sweet, smart, kind," adding "his favorite thing was his coaches and his teammates, that was his second family."
- Northwest Guilford Vikings teammates held a moment of silence Saturday, taking a knee at the 42-yard-line to honor Sorrell during their game.
- As of Tuesday, September 1, the GoFundMe has raised more than $32,000 toward a $50,000 goal, with a vigil scheduled for Wednesday night at Northwest Guilford High School's football stadium.
