12-year-old dies after collapsing during soccer practice in San Bernardino

A 12-year-old boy died Thursday after collapsing during soccer practice following a hot day in San Bernardino.

Adriel Enriquez collapsed on the soccer field on Feb. 26, while practicing with the Platinum IE soccer club, said his uncle, Joshua Gutierrez in a social media post.

“What started as a normal afternoon doing what he loved turned into every parent’s worst nightmare,” Gutierrez wrote in a GoFundMe launched by the family to help cover funeral costs and expenses.

Paramedics were sent to the scene at about 8:40 p.m., said San Bernardino County Fire Department Capt.
