RAYMORE, MO (WDAF) – A Missouri mother of three died minutes after her graduation ceremony from nursing school. Jessica White was going to celebrate the night with friends and family when she collapsed.

A classmate told FOX 4 in Kansas City, “She was talking to me, and she said, ‘I just feel like I have something stuck in my throat that I can’t cough up,’…and then she just fell over,” said Deborah Wren.

Her husband says she had Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the body’s connective tissue. The disease causes a thinning of the muscular and vascular tissue. It may have caused a heart murmur. But, no one knows what exactly what caused her to collapse.

He rode in the ambulance with his wife to the hospital where she passed away.
