Jordan Brister, a senior at Amplus Academy in Las Vegas, was found unresponsive after suffering cardiac arrest for unknown reasons, his family and the school said.
"Jordan was a selfless, respectful, Southern gentleman who was kind to everyone. He was witty and charming. He wanted to join the military to become a para rescue jumper to save others. In the end, he saved others through donation of organs, so his dream was somewhat fulfilled. He was a wise, older brother who cared deeply for his brother and sister. Jordan was truly everything you could ask for and more. He had a heart of gold.
"Words cannot express what the Brister family is going through and there will never be enough answers as to why this has happened," the GoFundMe page says."He was an amazing kid who loved life to the fullest." The Clark County Coroner’s Office said the exact cause of Brister’s death remains under investigation.In an unrelated situation, another teenager was found unresponsive at a Las Vegas high school on January 5. Ashari Hughes, 16, collapsed at Desert Oasis High School after going to the bench due to chest problems.
She was given CPR by a nurse in the stands. A defibrillator was also used to regain a heartbeat, but she died while arriving at the hospital.
