Death
Unfortunately, on Feb. 9th, 2006, he collapsed at school of cardiac arrest before his vision could be implemented, and, on February 15, 2006, one day after Valentine's Day and during Heart Month, he died, surrounded by his family in a London, Ontario hospital. After his death, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, working with Chase's parents, created the Chase McEachern Tribute Fund. As a result, there are now automated external defibrillators in schools and other locations throughout Canada.
Shortly before his death, Chase wrote to sports legend Don Cherry asking for help in highlighting the need for this lifesaving equipment. Soon after his death Don Cherry dedicated time to Chase's plight on Coach's Corner.
