Georgia teen’s flu complications cause rare cardiac arrest and death
Bailey Cruse, a 16-year-old student at South Paulding High School in Paulding County, Georgia, died three days after flu-like symptoms led to sudden cardiac arrest and multi-organ failure; doctors say it’s rare for healthy teens to suffer such complications. Her family noted she had no preexisting conditions and was recovering at home before the sudden event, and the school will provide counselors upon return from winter break.
