FOX17 NEWS has learned that Sam McCloud, a 9 year old 4th grade male student at West Elementary in Mt. Juliet has passed away from Bacterial Meningitis. We're told by health officials that, according to preliminary lab work, this is a form of Meningitis that is not communicable from person to person, and that there is no danger to students and faculty who came in contact with the student. We're told the child experienced a severe headache and vomiting and was taken to the hospital last night, where he died this morning. Officials say depending on the type of Meningitis, it could have been brought on by some preceding illness. They say that if the student had some sort of pre-existing illness, it could have aggravated it. It is unknown at this time whether or not that was the case. Wilson County Schools says they have contacted the CDC and State Health Departments, and they were advised there is no risk, and no preventative medications are necessary. School officials say they have taken precautions to ensure a safe environment for their students and faculty to learn and work in, and an email was sent home to parents advising them of the situation.
