South Carolina 10-year-old died of natural causes after fight in classroom, say officials
Solicitor Duffie Stone said at a press conference that 10-year-old Raniya Wright died of a congenital condition called an arteriovenous malformation, a tangle of abnormal blood vessels in the brain.
"This was a five-second slap fight that occurred in the front right corner of the classroom. Within seconds they were pulled apart," he said. The account of the fight given by investigators differed drastically from the one given by an attorney representing the Wright family.
