Connecticut Teachers Accused of Ignoring Tragic Boy's Distress Signals at Recess.

The parents of a 5-year-old boy who died during recess at a Connecticut school are suing the school and town for negligence. The lawsuit alleges that teachers ignored the boy, who had collapsed, for nearly 10 minutes, assuming he was playing a game called "play dead." When they realized he needed medical attention, it was too late to save him. The boy's death was classified as "natural" by the state medical examiner. The family filed the lawsuit on the one-year anniversary of the boy's death, and loved ones gathered at the playground where he collapsed to remember him.
