LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Another Las Vegas student died last week after collapsing and being found unresponsive in a school bathroom.
The senior high school student, Jordan Brister, attended Amplus Academy, a public charter school. Amplus Academy posted information on Brister’s death on the school’s Facebook page on Sunday.
“The Amplus community sends our love and condolences to the Brister family as well as to all of Jordan’s family, friends and acquaintances.”
According to Brister’s father, Conrad Brister, his son collapsed in the bathroom on Tuesday, Jan. 3, and may have been there for as long as 25 minutes before he was discovered. During that time, his heart stopped.
Jordan Brister was in ICU at Southern Hills Hospital. The Clark County coroner’s office listed Brister’s date of death as Sunday, Jan. 8. He was an organ donor.
A GoFundMe page was set up to help the family pay for the teen’s funeral. It reads, “Jordan Tyler Brister suddenly and unexpectedly suffered cardiac arrest while at school with no explanation as to why. Jordan was a senior in high school who planned to join the military after graduating.”

Last Thursday, another Las Vegas valley student died after collapsing at a flag football game. The Clark County Coroner’s office said Desert Oasis High School student Ashari Hughes, 16, suffered a cardiac death due to a “rare congenital abnormality.”
