A 17-year-old U.S. Marine Corps recruit collapsed and died Tuesday while exercising in a Brentwood park, according to police.
At about 5:45 p.m., officers responded to Veterans Park on Balfour Road for a call about an unresponsive male.
They found Floyd Burrell, who had collapsed from “an apparent unexpected medical complication” while working out with other Marine Corps recruits, according to police.
Burrell, a Pittsburg resident who was a senior at Pittsburg High School, received CPR from a bystander before emergency medical personnel arrived and took him to a hospital, where he later died, police said.
The Contra Costa County coroner’s office will perform an autopsy to determine what led to Burrell’s collapse.
