A school in the US is mourning the sudden death of one of its students.
Police said Harris Wolobah, who was a 14-year-old 10th-grade student at Doherty Memorial High School in Worcester, Massachusetts, died on the same day that he participated in the viral social media trend known as the "One Chip Challenge".
Wolobah's family said he was at school when he ate the chip and went to the nurse's office before going home. "As a mother and educator, I cannot imagine how hard this is on his family, friends and teachers. My heart goes out to all who knew and loved him," Dr Rachel Monarrez, superintendent of Worcester Public Schools, said in a statement."He was the kind of kid who would work really hard," said Douglas Hill, Wolobah's basketball coach for the St Bernard's Church team.
