November 6, 2010 CHP Cadet dies during training www.privateofficer.com
A cadet at West Sacramento’s California Highway Patrol Academy died Wednesday at a local hospital after suffering from an unknown illness.
The CHP said 24-year-old Randy Atchison of Ceres was taken by ambulance to Sutter General Hospital Friday for the condition after a “regularly scheduled physical training session.”
There were no signs that Atchison was ill when he began training, the CHP said. The man’s family said he’d never had any other medical problems.
“Atchison is survived by his parents, James and Andrea, brothers, Zachary and Chad, a sister, Alissa, his girlfriend, Kimberlee Andrada, and a 1-month-old daughter, Kaylee Atchison,” the CHP said in a statement.
CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow expressed his sympathy to Atchison’s family in a written statement, saying that “He had a life full of promise ahead that was tragically cut short.”
It’s the first death at the West Sacramento CHP academy.
