Despite the immediate alert of emergency services, the boy could not be revived. It is believed that Yahshua Robinson died of a heart attack, although the exact cause of death is still being determined by an autopsy. Yahshua's parents, Janae and Eric Robinson, and his three siblings now have to cope with the shock of the sudden loss of their son and brother. At the same time, they are outraged at the school staff who apparently ignored all warning signs and continued the physical education class despite the sweltering summer heat. The relatives of the deceased student have started a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe to "alleviate a little of the financial burden that this sudden tragedy brings to his family". So far, more than 49,000 US dollars have been collected for the grieving family members.
