13-YEAR-OLD GIRL COLLAPSES, DIES DURING GAME OF TUG-OF-WAR AT SCHOOL

A Pell City, Alabama, police cruiser is seen outside Williams Intermediate School
The reason I have brought this story to you is as parents and teachers who take care of these children,we ought to be extremely watchful over them.Parents must not take anything for granted.They must be prayerful even as their children go to learn.Teachers must also take to their responsibilities.Certain extreme games are not meant for some and if they must participate therein,they must be closely watched over.Though certain deaths could occur as a mystery,yet I believe that most deaths could still be avoided.This kind of story is sad and I pray that the family is comforted by the Lord.Read the story after the cut:
PELL CITY, Ala. -- Authorities say a 13-year-old girl died after collapsing at a school in Pell City Thursday.
CBS Birmingham affiliate WIAT-TV reports the girl was participating in field day activities at Williams Intermediate School when she collapsed.
The girl had been playing tug-of-war when she fell to the ground, Pell City police told the station.
Police spokesman Don Newton said the school nurse and coaches began CPR and officials called 911, but the girl was later pronounced dead.
She has been identified as Maddison Wentworth, WIAT-TV reports.
The girl's cause of death is unclear.
Amanda Garrett's daughter was on the opposite tug-of-war team. Garrett told the station her daughter heard the girl complain of a headache and dizziness before she collapsed.
Garrett said her daughter told her that children were able to get water if they went inside near the restrooms or paid for bottled water at the field day.
