David Suetta, an 11th grader at Battle Ground High School, died Thursday morning off campus, an official said.
Students were informed Thursday and counselors were available Thursday and will be there all day Friday, said the district’s communications director, Gregg Herrington.
An official with the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office said an autopsy is scheduled for Friday. The Sheriff’s Office also is investigating.
“Perhaps because of the rural but close-knit nature of the district and its residents, the loss of a student or employee is deeply felt throughout Battle Ground Public Schools,” Herrington said in a bulletin. “Our thoughts and prayers are with David’s family and many friends, at school and beyond.”
