Carter was an Agoura High School football player.
Relatives say he went into cardiac arrest and that doctors found a tumor on his heart, likely related to an undiagnosed case of T-cell leukemia.

Rams head coach Sean McVay along with wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Van Jefferson and kicker Matt Gay took time to connect with the Stone family.

Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page has been established to help the family.
