MMA fighter dies after collapsing during training as girlfriend issues warning
The 18-year-old spent 10 days in a coma before his parents Jason and Tami made the "tough" decision to turn his life support machine off."They had thought that he had taken a kick to the chest or a blow to the head, but someone was recording his bouts and it was none of that.
"Zach always had an energy drink every time he went to or to MMA. Because he was so healthy and fit, I never really thought much of it. "Even someone I know, the day after Zach had his heart attack, had a seizure at their gym from taking pre-workout and having an energy drink. After being rushed to hospital, Zach was put in an induced coma before his parents decided he was "done fighting" and turned his life support off 10 days later.
"It was really tough. We absolutely knew we were doing the right thing when we saw he wasn't getting better, he was getting worse. "We've been able to go to 15 different gyms and athletic facilities and donate them AEDs and tell Zach's story.
