MERRICK, N.Y. — "This is a healthy 9-year-old boy. How in the world could his heart just stop?"

Standing in the emergency room the night of September 27, 2005, that's the question Jill Levine kept asking herself. She'd just gotten news that she found impossible to comprehend: Her eldest son, Robbie, a fourth grader, had died.

About an hour earlier, Robbie had been running the bases at Little League practice near their home in Merrick, a suburb of New York City. Levine's husband, Craig, who coached the team, was standing at first base when Robbie ran by him.

Full Story: Levine dedicated herself to raising awareness of public AEDs
