The family of a Hamilton teen who died earlier this month after a night of drinking, calling on schools to make first aid part of the curriculum.
18 year old Rean Heckroodt died over the Thanksgiving weekend after passing out after drinking close to a litre of rum in an hour.
Rean had asphyxiated, but it wasn't until the next morning his friends called 9-1-1.
His mother tells the Spec, there is so much focus in high school on sex education but kids should learn first aid, and learn how to recognize when someone is in crisis.
