Overview
- A Lake Travis High School senior identified by community sources as Odin Hensley suffered cardiac arrest during football practice and was airlifted to Dell Children’s Medical Center, with the incident occurring on Monday.
- Austin-Travis County EMS and Travis County STAR Flight responded, provided advanced life support on scene, and transported the teen to the hospital in critical condition.
- A GoFundMe set up for the family has raised six-figure donations to help cover hospital bills, rehabilitation and lost income while Hensley’s parents remain at his bedside.
- Organizers moved a planned vigil to Lake Hills Church because of heavy turnout, and classmates, rival teams and local groups have publicly rallied in support.
- Official statements have been limited: school leaders confirmed a 'serious health emergency' and Dell Children’s and local officials have given few clinical details beyond that doctors are assessing potential brain and organ concerns.
