The Collier County Sheriff's Office has released the report on what happened after an 11-year-old died in the hospital after choking in the cafeteria on Thursday, Oct. 17.
According to the Collier County Sheriff's Office, around 11:43 a.m., a youth relations deputy responded to the cafeteria at Laurel Oak Elementary for a medical emergency.
The sheriff's office says that the deputy saw a fifth-grade student, Benajmin Cronin, 11, lying motionless on the bench of the table.
The report states that LifeVac, a device used to help people who are choking on food or other objects, was not working.
CCSO says the deputy attempted to perform the Heimlich maneuver, which was unsuccessful.
The report says Cronin was unresponsive and not breathing.
The deputy attempted CPR and attempted lifesaving measures.
According to the sheriff's office, emergency medical services arrived at the scene and took over. Cronin was taken to NCH North for further treatment, according to the report.
Benjamin was the second child of Dr. Stephen Cronin, an associate professor of biology at Ave Maria University.
It is currently unclear how or what Benjamin choked on, as that information has not been released.
In a statement from CCPS, they said all schools have emergency response teams, with staff who are trained to deal with emergency situations.
The district said all school sites have multiple devices to assist staff, students and visitors in the event of an emergency.
