A pregnant teacher was found dead in her classroom at an upstate New York school, four weeks away from welcoming her first baby.
29-year-old Courtney Fannon collapsed at Kendal Central School about 30 miles northwest of Rochester on Friday.
The special-education teacher became unresponsive and was declared dead at a hospital despite doctors’ efforts to save her and her unborn daughter’s lives.
Fannon’s cause of death is still undetermined. It is believed that she collapsed just after sending a text to her husband.
“The world lost 2 beautiful souls, Courtney Fannon, and Hadley Jaye Fannon, long before any of us were ready to live in a world without them,” family friend Matt Smith said on a GoFundMe page.
“They were called to eternal rest the night of March 8th, after a very tragic and unexpected turn of events.”
