17-Year-Old Student Suffers Heart Attack After Finishing Cross Country Race – Found Two Bloodclots – Doctors Baffled on Exactly What Happened
According to a Facebook post, Gabe didn’t bounce back following the race.
“Yesterday after the Pensacola race he didn’t bounce back,” according to a post published in the Bartlett High School Boys Cross Country Facebook group.
“After an hour he was taken by some of the dad’s and coach to the medical tent. His vitals were good. Out of abundance of caution the doctor on site said he should go to the hospital.
At the hospital his vitals were good until they weren’t. He was then airlifted with his mom to Gainesville Florida for further tests. Today he had surgery and it went well. Please pray for for this family and our team,” the post concluded.
The Bartlett City Schools also released a statement regarding the incident. According to the school, doctors found two blood clots after they performed a 3-hour surgery.
“On September 10th, after a race in Pensacola, FL, one of Bartlett High School’s Cross-Country runners suffered a heart attack. Gabe Higginbottom, 17, a junior at Bartlett High School was sent to Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola Hospital at the advice of the on-staff medical team.
Sacred Heart performed a CAT scan which revealed further action needed to be taken.”
“Gabe was transported to the UF Shands Heart and Vascular Hospital in Gainesville, FL by helicopter that night.
In Gainesville, they found his right artery was completely blocked. The doctors performed an angioplasty to insert a balloon to open up that artery. Later, they performed a 3-hour surgery inserting two stents and found two blood clots.”

As an R.N. who worked five years within interventional radiology I never had a teen or young adult who required angioplasty. I provided mild to moderate sedation for hundreds of these individuals. Generally speaking, these procedures are on clients in a much older age bracket and many have accompanying co-morbidities such as diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and morbid obesity.
Rev. Jerry Jones had his cyanide. The vaccine just kills in slower manner but with equal lethality for those who drank the Kool-aid during the pandemic.
I see there was another "Died Unexpectedly" headline today of what appeared to be a healthy young adult.
