TIMELINE
Lawson began showing signs that “something was wrong” around 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 10, according to the police report.
About seven minutes later, records show the school’s athletic trainers began helping Lawson because he was not able to hold himself up.
A trainer contacted the school’s associate principal. The report said emergency medical services then responded to the school around 1:03 p.m.
Lawson was “in and out of consciousness” while talking with EMS officials, and was lethargic and sweating profusely, records show.
An emergency medical technician told Northside ISD police that Lawson “could possibly be severely dehydrated,” according to the report.
NISD spokesperson Barry Perez previously told KSAT that Lawson’s health records showed no known medical conditions.
