Danielle Orna, 17, died suddenly Thursday though details of the teen’s death have not been released by Essex County Police. Orna was the President of the Gay-Straight Alliance at Nutley High School in Nutley, N.J.

Police were unable to revive the teen when they arrived at 11 p.m. on report of an “unresponsive female,” the Nutley Sun reports.

“Police and medical personnel attempted to revive 17-year-old Danielle Orna, who was pronounced dead at Clara Maas Hospital earlier this morning,” police stated in a press release.

Essex County Prosecutor’s Office did not elaborate on the teen’s death, stating only that it was “sudden.”

1. How very tragic. A very popular student, a Chalk Walk was created to honor her:

Colorful sketches and messages from classmates covered the sidewalk in front of the school and around the flagpole.

"I always think of your silly faces when sad," one read.

"We all love you and will never forget you," another read.

"Every time I saw her she had a beautiful smile," said Sharon Masucci, the mother of one of Orna's friends. "If she saw me driving down the street, she would always stop, smile and wave to me."
