 Posted: 09/14/07 - 03:48 Post subject: Student runner died trying to keep cool
Broward County’s medical examiner has ruled that the student whose body was found in a lake after a cross-country meet drowned while trying to cool off.
Doctor Joshua Perper says 15-year-old Corey McKenzie likely suffered from heat exposure or heat stroke and went into the lake to cool off, but drowned. There was no trauma to his body.
Davie police say McKinzie started the race with his teammates and was last seen Monday at the one-mile mark. His body was found dressed in his uniform and cleats.
McKenzie was an honors student at Boyd Anderson High School.

A day after the body of Corey McKenzie was found in a lake, the Florida High School Activities Association said it would look into more stringent guidelines for coaches.

I'm not buying that he collapsed and drowned because of heat exposure. Healthy kids in Florida do not succumb to an average summer day after 20 minutes of activity.
