A high school basketball player from Alabama died suddenly Thursday after a medical emergency at his school, according to reports.

Pinson Valley High School senior Caleb White was pronounced dead at a local hospital after collapsing at the suburban Birmingham school, ABC News reported.

White reportedly collapsed during a team workout at around 1:12 p.m. and was pronounced dead an hour later. Authorities said that the Jefferson County Coroner/Medical Examiner’s Office was to conduct a postmortem exam on Friday to try and determine the cause of death.

Pinson Valley High School Principal Michael Turner assured parents that lifesaving efforts were “immediately started,” and first responders were quickly called to the school.

“Please know counseling resources will be available for anyone who needs them in the coming days,” Turner told parents in a letter. “Please keep the student’s family and our school in your prayers.” (Read more from “17-Year-Old High School Basketball Star Dies After Collapsing During Workout” HERE)
