Edison Student Dies Suddenly Wednesday Night

A student at Thomas Edison High School died suddenly last night, according to Paul Regnier, coordinator for the Fairfax County Public Schools media and crisis team.

Regnier said a crisis team was currently at the school helping the community with the news. 

While the school has its own social workers and counselors to assist with the case of any student death, Regnier said that FCPS could reach out to more workers if they were needed. 

“They’re there in case there are any students or adults who are having trouble dealing with the death," he said.

Regnier said Principal Greg Croghan and the school were working on a statement to release to the community.
