An Indiana girl died Tuesday afternoon during a physical education class at her Whiteland high school, authorities said.
15-year-old Alaina Dildine suffered a medical emergency while doing laps and went under the water, Superintendent Patrick Spray said.
He added that there was a lifeguard at the pool at the time of Ailana's drowning.
“Despite the efforts of our staff and emergency responders, the student has passed away,” school officials said.
“The specific cause and circumstances surrounding this tragedy are not yet known, and a thorough investigation will take place.”
A GoFundMe page for the teen's family reveals that she suffered from epilepsy.
“She was a sweet girl with a heart of gold who would help anyone and now her family needs our help,” the page reads.
