Fundraiser held for teen who collapsed, died

HITCHCOCK, TX (KTRK) Yesterday, they played basketball on the same court at Crosby Middle School, where 13-year-old Kailynn Boclair died last week.

The game was part of a day-long benefit to raise money for Kailynn's family. Local businesses donated supplies for a barbeque fundraiser and bake sale.

"She was really determined with what she wanted to do and playful," said Kailynn's best friend Kayla Williams. "She's a very funny girl and goofy.

An autopsy revealed Kailynn had an undiagnosed congenital heart defect. Her funeral is set for tomorrow.
