CHICAGO (AP) - A 9-year-old girl who police say had a history of health issues has died after being found unresponsive at a special needs school on Chicago's South Side.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that police were called to the elementary school about 8:30 a.m. Thursday to find someone performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the girl.
The Chicago Tribune reports that the girl went into cardiac arrest on a school bus and that the bus driver took her to the school's nursing office where CPR was performed.
She was taken by ambulance to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Chicago Public Schools did not immediately comment Thursday on the girl's death which is being investigated by police.
