A Bakersfield College student collapsed in Campus Center and later died, according to Chief Mark Graf, director of public safety.

Part-time student Henry F. Clark, 31, was playing a guitar in the Campus Center area at approximately 11:35 a.m. near the cafeteria on Sept. 12 when he collapsed and began to have what appeared to be a seizure.

BC medical student Cindy Davis noticed the collapse and began cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Clark, according to Graf.

“Our officer was on the scene within a minute, the fire department and paramedics arrived six minutes later, took over the treatment on scene and transported Clark to Kern Medical Center by Hall Ambulance,” he said.

Jeff Cameron, deputy coroner for the Kern County coroner’s office, said Clark was pronounced dead on arrival at 12:14 p.m. at Kern Medical Center.

As of Wednesday, the cause of Clark’s death had not yet been released pending toxicology test results. It may take up to eight weeks before tests are completed.

Davis declined to be interviewed.
