Sad news this weekend -- 2009 Valley Center graduate Taylor Benjamin died at a party on Friday night.
Taylor played varsity baseball the past two seasons, and just graduated in June. There's still no official word on why he died, but the VC grapevine is saying that it could have been alcohol poisoning, or possibly a seizure. Apparently, another person at the party tried to administer CPR before the paramedics arrived, but later said that they thought it was already too late.
I didn't know him personally, but in the few interactions I had with him through baseball, he seemed like a really nice young man, and he always played hard on the field, no matter what the situation. I can't imagine how difficult this is for his family and friends. I hope they're able to find some comfort and understanding in the midst of such a terrible tragedy.
