  • The cause of death was ruled as 'asphyxia due to smothering' in the autopsy report. The boy had a history of anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and migraines. He was brought to Trails Carolina from his New York home due to ongoing behavioral issues. Less than 24 hours after arrival, he was found unresponsive in a cabin with other adolescent camp attendees and adult counselors. He was placed to sleep in a bivy on the night of February 2, 2024. A short time later, a counselor noted he was moving around again but stopped moving shortly after. Routine checks were performed throughout the night, but due to the opaque layer of the bivy being closed, he could not be visually seen or checked on.
