LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Thirty-two students at a Catholic elementary school were
taken to the hospital after being becoming ill in church.
A parent said that students were attending Mass at a church adjacent to
the
school when a student fainted and several others became sick.
Louisville Fire Department Capt. David Thomas said several children became
nauseated and started vomiting in the church sanctuary.
Thirty-two children were taken to the hospital for observation.
Fire officials and LG&E representatives have investigated and neither
could find
a likely cause, such as natural gas or carbon monoxide.
However, the students said that the church was very hot, so the sickness
may be
attributed to heat.
