A top high school basketball player from Alabama died after suffering cardiac arrest in the midst of practice, leaving family members in shock.

Caleb White, 17, from Pinson Valley High School (PVHS), Jefferson County, became ill while working out with his teammates. “24 hours ago, my grandson Caleb White collapsed on the basketball court, went into cardiac arrest and all attempts to resuscitate him failed. This was similar to the illness Labron James’ son experienced as he was working out,” Caleb’s grandfather George Varnadoe Jr. said in a Facebook post on Friday.
