Overview
- During a Monday morning practice, a Lake Travis High School senior suffered a reported seizure that led to cardiac arrest and was airlifted by Travis County STAR Flight to Dell Children’s Medical Center for intensive care.
- Hensley, 17, died late Wednesday, a fact the family confirmed to reporters and Lake Travis ISD superintendent Curtis Null confirmed in a letter to families.
- The district arranged counselors for students and staff and the team canceled activities on the day of the incident while coaches and trainers worked with first responders on site.
- Hundreds attended a vigil and a GoFundMe for the family raised six‑figure donations, and nearby programs and rivals publicly offered condolences and practical support such as links to heart screenings.
- Officials have released only limited medical details beyond references to a reported seizure and cardiac arrest, and the school community is now focused on grief support and covering medical and funeral expenses.
