17 Year Old High School Athlete Dead from Fentanyl
Classmates are mourning the death of a promising Woodland Hills student-athlete, who died of fentanyl poisoning last week.
El Camino Charter High School baseball player Cade Kitchen is being remembered as a kind, easygoing 17-year-old who was dedicated to his team. Even students that didn't know him personally are devastated by the news, and cannot believe that the fentanyl crisis hit their community.
Parents are increasingly concerned.
"It's heartbreaking for the family. It's heartbreaking for the students, it's a wake-up call," said Dean Messerman, whose son is a junior at the school.
Help is on the Way!
InterAct LifeLIne is developing a mobile solution that utilizes data from smart watches and fitness trackers to detect leading indicators of overdose, alert others and send help. (Coming Soon!)
