At this time there is no known cause of death. The seemingly healthy fifteen year old collapsed suddenly during a routine gym lesson.
Culture Buzz Swinging the camera back and forth is such a nice touch, BTW. All kidding aside, I'm really scared right now.
Culture Buzz Yesterday, we asked BuzzFeeders to give us a picture that best summed up how they looked in high school. And now we're proud to present the BuzzFeed high school yearbook. Thanks for all your awesome submissions!

Wow, that over-achiever fell off their pedestal hard and fast. Six months after graduating high school and life has already hit everyone like a sock full of nickels.

The holidays, and going home to visit your family, are just around the corner. Let us give thanks for the hometown bar and the girls you’ll see there.
Culture Buzz You've probably seen countless lists of “awesome” senior photos that are actually just pictures of troubled kids that probably got picked on in high school. I hate these lists and decided to offer an alternative that features kids who knew exactly how awesome they were being when these were taken. Instead of laughing along with the bullies at these high school kids feel free to laugh along with them. Also feel free to add your own pictures of your awesome self back in high school.
Culture Buzz Earlier today a bear-safety lecture at Yellowstone park being hosted in response to bear attacks from only two days ago was interrupted by yet another bear. Bears are relentless. That is why (along with it being the end of a long Monday) I feel this is the perfect opportunity to re-publish an article I wrote for my high-school paper many years ago entitled “How To Protect Yourself From A Bear Attack.” Stay safe and add any of your own tips!

Politics Buzz Rick Santorum officially entered the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. Let's celebrate with this high school yearbook photo of young Richard from 1976. Is there any search result for this guy that isn't embarrassing? More GOP yearbook photos over at The Atlantic. (via theatlantic.co)
Taken 13 years ago. Man, the poor sap behind her…not only does he have to live down the rictus grin in this photo, but he also has the ultimate “one that got away” story.
GED? This beat down is advanced placement. Our future, ladies and gentlemen, is brighter than ever. And try to forgive the mouse permanently hovering in the center of the screen. The video was made by a GED student, after all.
High School is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on High School.
Anthony Weiner, New York congressman and liberal icon, in a 1981 high school yearbook photo. Released by Rep. Weiner himself on his Twitter page. There is nothing wrong in America that can't be fixed by what is right in this photo.
Even if you didn't play Dungeons & Dragons in school, you were still playing Dungeons & Dragons in school. (From, via)
Culture Buzz Before these porn stars were getting down and dirty, they were everyday kids who went to high school just like you and I. The only difference being, I don’t think they had a comic book collection or couldn’t get a date. Well, maybe Ron Jeremy had these problems. (Via thatpanic.com.)
Culture Buzz Whether you're a freshman in college or a freshman in high school, some first day of school woes will never change. Luckily, the freshman ferret is here to voice your concerns and let you know you're not alone.
IMDB confirms that they were high school friends. So go ahead and do whatever you need to do to process this photo, because I think it's pretty real. (Thanks to Warming Glow Matt.)
The weaves come off when things get crazy in the high school cafeteria at Gender Bender day (no, seriously, we're not making that up).
