17-Year-Old High School Student Suddenly Dies of "Unexpectedly" After Suffering ‘Critical Medical Emergency’ During Flag Football Game

This afternoon during a Weber flag football game, a member of the senior class, Eitan Force, suffered a critical medical emergency on the field. Our trainers and staff immediately went to his aid prior to the arrival of emergency healthcare professionals. 

Eitan was transported to a local hospital for further care. 

Tragically, we received word that Eitan passed away earlier this evening. With respect for their privacy, Eitan’s parents request that we do not reach out or contact the family at this time. 

By now, many Weber students and parents are aware of and processing this terrible loss. Currently, we are taking appropriate measures to provide comfort to our students, faculty, staff, and parents. 

Weber will cancel classes for tomorrow, Thursday, September 21, 2022. However, to meet the needs of our students, faculty and staff, and parents, Ms. Jordan Crawford, School Psychologist, is working with crisis counseling resources from Jewish and educational agencies to arrange for counseling services to be made available at school tomorrow. Once we confirm these resources as well as a precise plan and schedule, we will send you an update later this evening or tomorrow morning with specific details. 

Formal gatherings for the senior class will be shared directly with our seniors and their families.
