(KMOV) - Two students at two different local schools died Monday at school.
Raevin Hutson
A 17-year-old boy passed away at Vashon High School and a 13-year-old girl died in her Alton school.
An autopsy shows a 7th grade girl from the Metro East suffered a heart attack and died after lunch Monday.
It happened at Alton Middle School.
Raevin Hutson, 13, was active in sports and had no history of medical problems.
Two teachers, a school nurse and an assistant principal all performed CPR.
Emergency room efforts also failed.
The autopsy shows Hutson had a previously unknown heart condition. Her death is blamed on natural causes.
Cortez Riney
There's a similar and just as tragic death in St. Louis. Health officials are investigating the sudden death of a senior at Vashon High School.
Authorities say it appears Cortez Riney, 17, suffered a seizure.
The St. Louis School District says Monday morning, Riney collapsed in class.
Security guards tried to revive him until an ambulance arrived.
Riney's mother says he had a cut on his chin and a bloody nose after apparently falling out of his classroom desk.
Riney had a history of seizures.
We're told some teachers are raising questions about how long it took for an ambulance to be called.
