Wellesley teen dies after collapsing at field hockey practice
Casey Dunne, a 16-year-old from Wellesley, died unexpectedly Friday after collapsing during field hockey practice.
Dunne died from a brain hemorrhage, according to The Boston Globe. It was unclear what caused the hemorrhage, as her father told the Globe the family was unaware of any pre-existing medical conditions.
A junior at Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, Dunne had formerly attended Tenacre Country Day School. In addition to field hockey, she played soccer and lacrosse, and also enjoyed ballet, singing, acting, and photography.
Dunne tutored low-income middle school students, traveled to Romania to work in an orphanage, and spent the past summer in Bolivia, delivering water purification units to communities lacking clean water, the Globe reported.
“It’s so hard as parents to lose a child at 16, but we also look at her, and she had a full life for a 16-year-old girl,’’ her father, Matthew Dunne, told the Globe.
