The 13-year-old died after he collapsed jogging in P.E. class.
Although physical education teachers eventually attempted CPR, it was ineffective to supply sufficient oxygen to his heart, brain and other vital organs, trial testimony showed. By the time paramedics arrived 12 minutes after M.T. collapsed, the boy had suffered from lack of oxygen and was effectively brain dead, testimony showed.
Medical experts testifying for the boy's father said that the timely use of the AED device likely would have saved the boy's life. In their court papers, LAUSD attorneys stated that the boy had a pre- existing medical condition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and that neither CPR nor the use of an AED would have been able to restore his heart function after he had cardiac arrest.
"In fact, at the time of his collapse, there was nothing ... immediately at the school site that would have allowed decedent to be resuscitated," the defense lawyers maintained in their court papers.that I have read and agree
