Teen Dies From 'Medical Incident' At LI High School: Report

FARMINGVILLE, NY - An incoming high school senior died while at Sachem High School East on Monday night, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kenneth Graham said in a statement.

"It is with deep sorrow that the district has learned that an incoming senior at Sachem North High School tragically passed away last night," Graham said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the individual’s family and friends during this difficult time."

The cause of death has not yet been determined.

Suffolk Police confirmed to Newsday that officers responded to a call at the school at 9:15 p.m. for "a sick or injured person."
