Two Clayton County coaches charged with murder in teen heatstroke death

Two Clayton County coaches have been charged with second degree murder and second degree cruelty to children in the 2019 heatstroke death of Elite Scholars Academy student Imani Bell.

A grand jury indictment said that Larosa Maria Walker-Asekere and Dwight Broom Palmer were responsible “by conducting outdoor conditioning training for student athletes in dangerous heat, resulting in the death of Imani Bell due to hyperthermia and rhabdomyolysis.”

Rhabdomyolysis is syndrome resulting from the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers with leakage of muscle contents into the circulation, according to an article on the condition published in the American Family Physician Journal.

The pair, who were indicted July 1, also are charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless conduct.

...if any coach pushes him past the point of his well-being, he can tell them to fuck the right off.
