A family in Georgia is grieving the tragic loss of their 15-year-old daughter, Amanda Sylvester, who collapsed during volleyball practice. This heartbreaking incident took place at the Tracey Wyatt Recreational Center in College Park, Georgia. Reports indicate that emergency medical services (EMS) faced legal restrictions that prevented them from transporting Sylvester to a hospital promptly, leaving her in a critical situation. When her mother finally arrived to take her to the hospital, it was unfortunately too late for effective treatment.

This devastating event raises crucial questions: Could different actions have altered the outcome and potentially saved Amanda’s life?

In light of this tragedy, The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is conducting an in-depth investigation on ‘TSR Investigates’ to uncover more details surrounding this incident.

Unraveling the Events Leading to Amanda Sylvester’s Collapse During Volleyball Practice

According to Justin Carter’s investigation, Amanda was jogging alongside a teammate when surveillance footage revealed her suddenly stopping and leaning forward, placing her hands on her knees in distress. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, an adult left the gym to seek help, promptly dialing 911 for assistance.

After a harrowing nine minutes, an EMT vehicle finally arrived at the parking lot, yet the delay had already set a tragic course of events in motion.

“EMTs managed to stabilize Amanda, who was conscious but unable to communicate. Despite the request for an ambulance by Grady EMS through 911 and College Park Fire Rescue, Grady EMS reportedly failed to respond to the call,” stated the city of College Park in a follow-up statement. This lack of response from EMS raises serious concerns about the efficiency and readiness of emergency services during critical incidents.

In a desperate attempt to save her daughter, bystanders helped Amanda into her mother’s van. Witnesses noted that the EMTs suspected she was experiencing a seizure. However, it appears that legal constraints prevented the medical technicians from transporting her to the hospital, as only paramedics are authorized to do so.

Understanding the Circumstances Surrounding Amanda Sylvester’s Untimely Death and EMS Response Delays

According to Carter, the dispatch status for an ambulance remained at level zero throughout this critical emergency, which indicates that the demand for ambulances was extremely high at that moment. As a result, no ambulances were available to respond to Amanda’s urgent needs, ultimately leading to her tragic passing at the hospital.
