On October 31, 2019, Adilene Carrasco joined her last period science class on a long walk from the classroom to the upper athletic field to participate in a 'pumpkin chuckin' contest. When Adilene arrived to the field, she had difficulty breathing and asked her teacher for permission to walk back to the classroom to retrieve her inhaler. The teacher told Adilene she could go, and to bring a friend with her, never asking if she felt well enough to walk. When Adilene returned to the field, she asked the teacher if she could go to the nurse’s office -- she wasn't feeling well and her inhaler did not help her. Despite Adilene's obvious worsening condition, the teacher sent both girls walking without an adult to the main campus where Adilene was spotted struggling by a campus monitor who drove her to the nurse's office in full respiratory distress – Adilene had suffered a severe asthma attack, lost consciousness, and gone into cardiac arrest before paramedics arrived to transport her. She died nine days later at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital.
