A family in North Carolina is mourning the loss of an 11-year-old middle school student from Gaston County, known for his infectious smile that brightened everyone’s day.
Tragically, the student from Holbrook Middle School passed away after being found unresponsive on a school bus as it arrived at the school on Thursday morning. Despite the valiant efforts of a Lowell Police School Resource Officer and emergency responders, young Karmarion was unable to be revived and was taken to Caromont Regional Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his condition.
Authorities attempted to use Narcan on the student as a precaution for possible narcotics exposure, but unfortunately, it did not have any effect.
A fellow student shared on social media that Karmarion often slept on the bus in the mornings, and it was only upon reaching the school that they realized something was amiss.
In a heartwarming display of support, a GoFundMe campaign has raised over $30,000 to assist the child’s father, Roscoe Hull, a single parent who is seeking help to lay his beloved son to rest. The outpouring of donations from the local community and beyond has been truly touching.
Our deepest sympathies and thoughts are with this grieving family during this difficult time.
