TRISTAN WHITE PASSES AWAY AFTER MEDICAL INCIDENTFebruary 3, 2012 Wednesday afternoon Summit High School senior, Tristan White, was involved in a medical incident during wrestling practice. Over the past 2 days, doctors and nurses have been working around the clock, in an effort to stabilize his heart and overall condition. Thursday afternoon, Tristan was placed on life support to provide enough stability in his condition for additional potentially life sustaining procedures to be implemented. Though relatively stable through the night, the medical events of the past 48 hours have taken their toll, and this afternoon (Friday), 17 year old Tristan White passed away. Throughout the day yesterday and today, the Summit School District has had a team of counselors on site to provide support to both students and staff. Our deepest sympathies go out to the White family and all who knew Tristan. He was a vibrant member of the Tiger Family and this community and will be missed. |
