The younger brother of Arizona State senior forward Aubree Johnson of Post Falls died from an enlarged heart while in St. Thomas for the Paradise Jam women’s basketball tournament, the medical examiner in Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands, said Monday. Fifteen-year-old Jordan Johnson died in his sleep either late Friday or early Saturday after traveling with his parents to watch Aubree and Arizona State play in the tournament. Medical examiner Michelle DuPre, who performed the autopsy on Monday, said the heart condition could have been genetic and likely was not diagnosed. DuPre said toxicology results were "completely negative." Funeral services for Johnson are at 2 p.m. Saturday at Real Life Ministries in Post Falls. Because of the funeral, the Post Falls High School boys and girls basketball games scheduled Saturday at home against Freeman have been rescheduled for Dec. 18.
