HOUSTON — Houston Fire Department cadet Cohnway M. Johnson died early this morning at Hermann Memorial Hospital. According to the Chronicle, the 26-year-old Johnson collapsed last Wednesday during an early morning jog as part of the department's routine physical training.
KHOU-TV reports Cohnway Johnson was at the training academy when he took ill. Officials told the TV station, while it appeared he had been improving, Johnson's condition took a turn for the worse on Monday.
The medical examiner is investigating the cause of death and an internal investigation is reported under way.
In less than five weeks the Houston Fire Department has also dealt with the deaths of two firefighters in a house fire and the collision of two fire trucks that resulted in the death of a bicyclist and injured nine firefighters.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Houston FD and his family.
