Dennis Township Teen Dies While Playing Hockey; Autopsy Scheduled

 

By Herald Staff

DENNIS TOWNSHIP– Michael Fisher, 15, of Dennis Township, collapsed at an early-season practice, apparently of a medical condition, and died on his way to the hospital, according to a report by the Press of Atlantic City.
Fisher, a sophomore at Cape May County Technical School, “passed out” in a Friday evening scrimmage at the hockey rink in a busy sports complex on Dennisville Road in his home township, his stepfather, Dan Nees, said in an interview with the Press.
State Police and the Belleplain Emergency Corp. — which is almost right next door to the township-owned sports complex — got the call about an “unresponsive” teenager collapsing at 6:21 p.m. Friday, State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones said. A Belleplain ambulance was taking the boy to the hospital when he died, Jones said.
“There was a history of medical issues that may have contributed to his death,” the police spokesman said, adding that an autopsy is planned but hadn’t been performed yet. The boy’s stepfather said the family has been told the autopsy is scheduled for Monday.
