This is not a good story. How do parents live past this kind of emotional torture? We all walk through life and take our children for granted. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to let my girls go. JD

A 14-year-old cheerleader at Beaumont High School died Wednesday morning, after apparently suffering cardiac arrest.

School officials said Devon Christine Miller’s death may be related to an undisclosed medical illness.

The ninth-grader “took part in numerous campus sports” as well as other extracurricular programs, according to a bulletin on the Beaumont Unified School District website.

Grief counselors were sent to Beaumont High to meet with students and teachers impacted by the girl’s death.
