A Highlands Ranch High School student who collapsed Sept. 30 during a school-sponsored run probably died of cardiac arrhythmia, although no clear heart abnormalities were found, the Arapahoe County coroner said.

The body of 15-year-old Quinton F. Sanford showed congestion in the lungs, liver and spleen, but no presence of drugs, medication or other trauma, the Dec. 3 report shows.

“We don’t understand why this happened on any level,” his mother, Jill Sanford, said in an e-mail. “But we do know that we are proud of our son and the profound impact he’s had on so many people’s lives.”
