Quinn Driscoll
Quinn died on June 10, 2009, 18 days before his 14th birthday, while running on the track during PE. He had just told his friends “Let’s feel the burn,” and the next thing they knew, Quinn collapsed. His PE teachers, paramedics and emergency room doctors could not revive him. The Medical Examiner’s Office was quick to declare that his death was caused by Idiopathic Cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart with no known cause). When questioned by a pediatric cardiologist, it was determined that the cause was undiagnosed Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). Quinn never showed any symptoms, and appeared to be in perfect health.
