Show of Hands

I can't remember the exact cause of death but a girl died from some severe complications relating to her asthma.

In my first year of junior college a (white) friend was murdered by a white supremacist couple for not handing over his car at gunpoint.

Not when I was I school, but in my 20 years of teaching I have had 2 unfortunate students. One from a cardio virus, one from a brain tumor.

This guy that I knew in 7th grade because he was in my typing class and rode my school bus had a seizure in his bathtub and everyone at school the next day cried their eyes out :(

A girl in HS died of pneumonia.. Like two years before we graduated.

Yes, my friend died in his sleep in 5th grade

Yes. My brother.

A girl from my 3rd grade class died of cancer some time later. Didn't find out until7th grade, though.

I know someone who was involved in a murder suicide

No, but there were at least a couple of classmates who ended up in rehab before HS was out.

Yes one girl at my high school had a heart condition and died at home in the middle of the night.

Brain tumor. I lost one who was playing with matches also.

A kid in my 4th grade class died of a brain aneurysm while walking down the hall in school.

We lost a football player to a heart attack. It was awful. He had a heart defect no one knew about

No, but my best friend died, on New Years Eve, when his house caught fire. He made it out but went back in to save his baby sister. He died but she was found under her crib badly burned. If anyone, at school, made fun of her, I'd protect her.

Not friends but kids in the neighborhood, one from drugs and two others (brother and sister) suicide.

One kid died from a staph infection and we lost another one in a car crash

No

One friend who died from leukemia.

Two from illness. One was some kind of leukemia. I don't remember what the other one died from, if I even ever knew.
