Kindergartener chokes to death on bus

A 5 year old Kindergartener choked on what family is now suspecting was a thumb tack, on his school bus en route to his home. While such a freak, terrible and tragic accident, I wonder if bus drivers shouldn’t be required to know CPR and the Heimlich maneuver.

The 5-year-old boy who died on a Marlborough school bus Wednesday was a kindergarten student named Darnell Cobb, officials said earlier today.

In a press conference at Central Fire Station - a few hundred yards away from where the bus pulled over yesterday - Mayor Nancy Stevens said Cobb was unconscious when paramedics arrived at the bus. Efforts by emergency responders and Marlborough Hosptial staff to revive the boy were unsuccessful, she said.
