John Erlanson, 17
The Atascadero High School junior who died Wednesday after he was found underwater and unconscious in the campus swimming pool drowned, sheriff’s officials said today.
John Erlanson, 17, was rushed to Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton from a physical education class around 10:30 a. m., according to police. Less than two hours later, the school district was notified by the Atascadero Police Department that Erlanson had died.
Officials with the Atascadero Unified School District would not release details about the incident, saying only that he collapsed in the pool area of the high school.
The autopsy results determined the Erlanson drowned. A toxicology report is pending with results expected sometime in the next two to three weeks, said Rob Bryn, spokesman for the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Department.
