PORT ANGELES — A 17-year-old boy collapsed while running Wednesday afternoon and was pronounced dead at Olympic Medical Center, Port Angeles police said.
Police Sgt. Barb McFall declined to identify the boy Wednesday night because of his age and because she did not know if all family members had been notified after the teenager collapsed at a little after 4 p.m.
“He and his buddy were going for a jog” on Milwaukee Drive, McFall said. “He went down for no apparent reason.”
A nurse who was passing by started cardiopulmonary resuscitation “within a minute, his friend said,” McFall said.
The youth was taken to OMC. He could not be revived, McFall said.
“It was very sudden,” she said.
