North Carolina is mourning 13-year-old Caden Sorrell,
a Northwest Guilford Middle School student and football player who suffered cardiac
arrest during a routine practice after completing a lap around the field and died several days later.
His family said he had appeared completely healthy and remembered him as intelligent, gentle, caring, and full of life,
while teammates knew him as a passionate football player who wore No. 42.
As his loved ones prepare to say goodbye, a GoFundMe has been created to help with medical and funeral expenses,
while family friends are calling for better access to automated external defibrillators
(AEDs) at sporting events to improve emergency
response in similar situations.READ MORE BELOW
