A suburban high school freshman has died after having a stroke during swim practice.

A swim coach for James Oliver, 14, said that the teen collapsed at West Chicago High School Dec. 8.

In a letter to parents, the principal at Geneva High School said Oliver suffered an AVM stroke and brain hemorrhage and was in critical condition until he died Sunday night.

A neurosurgeon at Northwestern Medicine explained that this very rare condition is usually congenital.
