On Sunday, a letter was sent out by a Collier County Public Schools principal announcing the death of a student.

The North Collier Fire District confirmed to us that they did respond and said that all they can share is the call came in on Thursday at 11:53 a.m. for a child choking. 

However, the identity of the student, the school where this occurred and the official cause of death remain unknown to the public.

According to the letter, a number of resources will be offered to students in the affected school.

“Members of the District Crisis Team and our school counselors will be available to assist students impacted by the loss and will continue to be available as needed,” read the letter.

WINK News reached out to CCPS regarding the death. Their response reads as follows:

“We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of our Collier County Public Schools (CCPS) students. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to their family, friends and all those affected by this tragic loss.
