Lawsuit filed after teachers ignore collapsed boy during recess.

The parents of a five-year-old boy who died after collapsing during school recess in Connecticut have filed a lawsuit against the town of West Hartford and its board of education. The lawsuit claims that teachers thought Romeo Pierre Louis was "playing dead" and did not attend to him for eight minutes, leading to his death from a rare heart condition. The parents' attorney said the death was "completely and totally avoidable." The lawsuit alleges negligence on the part of the teachers and claims that Louis' parents were unaware of his condition.
