The pressure on pre-med students is bad enough, but this one was in an early admission program and very young. No reason was ever determined for him and in the following year, he did not have another episode of which I was aware.
That or sleep deprivation combined with to much ephedra based stimulants and caffeine drinks from the local gas station the night before. Not that he was a drug head... I mentin that because a LOT of serious students turn to caffeine/or worse for late night studying before finals. I admit guilt now as the statute of limitations has run. LOL

DISCLAIMER: The above is a very bad idea to do for you younger members lurking...It is medically dangerous to mix caffeine with other stimulants.
