Claypool Teen Dies In Washington
Bryan Taylor, 19, of Claypool died suddenly Saturday in George, Wash.
Taylor was in Washington visiting his grandparents when he passed away.
Eric Brown, an Akron boy who went with Taylor to Washington, was at the scene. According to his mother, Becky Brown, Taylor and Brown were on their way to a concert.
They and a female passenger were stuck in a seven-mile long traffic jam. Taylor was sitting in the window of the car when he had a seizure, according to Brown.
Taylor stiffened and fell out the window, hitting his head on the pavement, said Brown.
The passengers started working on Taylor but could not get a response. According to Brown, an autopsy has not shown the cause of death.
