The autopsy said the 8th grader had a reported history of asthma, but the condition did not contribute to his death.

"There can't be a lowest low in education to be in charge of a child, and that child passes away," said Wagoner Superintendent Monte Thompson in a December interview.  

It's not known what caused the sudden cardiac arrhythmia, the report said.
