A second Las Vegas student died last week after collapsing
and being found unresponsive in a school bathroom.

Jordan Brister, 18, "experienced cardiac arrest" while at
Amplus Academy on Jan. 3, according to a statement from
the school. Brister's parents later also confirmed his death.

The school released a statement saying that staff had
"provided Jordan with emergency medical attention until
paramedics arrived and transported him to Southern Hills
Hospital. . . . Despite the efforts of first responders
and the medical team at the hospital, Jordan passed
away this past Sunday."

. . .

OK ... something weird is going on here. TOO many
cardiac arrest cases amongst 'athletes' in a short
timeframe.

Yea, yea, statistical 'clusters' DO happen, but ...

Just a suspicion ... some kind of "energy" drink/pills
with ephedra-like ingredients or maybe a massive dose
of caffeine and/or similar ingredients. Street meth
has been around for a long time, but we haven't seen
this sort of cardiac cluster. Normally-harmless "energy"
ingredients - combined in large doses - really could
exacerbate underlying heart-rhythm abnormalities.

So, what are the younger set sucking-up these days ?
Sales charts may be the primary guide.
