PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A 12-year-old Salem boy who survived a heart attack during basketball practice three months ago has died after collapsing at baseball practice.
Fire officials say some of the same paramedics who helped revive Isaac Arzate (ahr-ZAH’-tay) in January rushed to his school Friday night and tried again to save him.
Marion County Deputy Medical Examiner Rodge Womack confirmed Monday that Arzate died later at a hospital.
After his first collapse, on Jan. 6, Arzate survived when fast-acting coaches performed CPR and called the paramedics.
He had surgery days later to repair a heart defect.
