Family of athlete who died suddenly seeks life-saving legislation
WAUKESHA, Wis. - Waukesha North High School junior Kai Lermer died suddenly of an undiagnosed heart condition. He was just 16 years old. Now, his family is taking a big step to ensure no parent has to experience a loss like theirs.
Lermer died in April 2019 after playing basketball with friends at a park in Waukesha. Sudden cardiac arrest is the number one killer of student-athletes, said Michael Lermer, Kai s father.
Kai s condition went undiagnosed. His father is now hopeful he can save other families from similar tragedies through legislation. The parents will have the choice to go in and request an EKG test for their children, Lermer said.
