Supplements eyed in student's death

SHANGHAI: A 15-year-old student, a budding athlete specializing in the high jump, died suddenly during an intensive training session on Monday, only one day before his 16th birthday.

Shan Feiyang, recruited to the No 3 Xiaoshan High School as a promising high jumper, collapsed at the school playground at 5:30 pm after running for about 70 meters. He was sent to the No 1 People's Hospital in Xiaoshan and died at about 9 pm.

Shan was in the middle of a physical training program implemented by the school. Without placing blame, the parents said the program could have led to his death.
