Aquan Lewis, a 10-year-old student at Evanston's Oakton Elementary School, was pronounced dead early this morning at Children's Memorial Hospital. Lewis, of Skokie, had been found yesterday afternoon, unresponsive and hanging from a hook in a bathroom at the school. While it's not clear who found him, attempts were made by the principal to revive the boy. According to Elliot Lieteau, the school's janitor, "The principal was on the left side, and he's on the floor, they had just pulled him off the hook, and they were saying that he's been up there, so I immediately get on my knees and start giving him CPR, and I'm checking his pulse when I'm doing it." For now, authorities are calling the death an accident and claiming no foul play is suspected.
