Autopsy Is Planned for Kilpatrick Coach

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death of Kilpatrick basketball coach Alvin Brown, a doctor said.

Brown, 29, collapsed while playing in a church league basketball game Saturday night. He suffered cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead later that night at King/Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles, said Dr. Alfred Forrest.

Brown was a deputy probation officer at Kilpatrick, a camp in Malibu for juvenile offenders. He guided the Mustangs to a 27-3 record and their first Alpha League title this season. Kilpatrick lost to Price in the Southern Section Division V-AA final.

Brown, a graduate of Granada Hills High and former basketball player at University of San Francisco, is survived by his parents and 3-year-old son, Brent. Brown was planning to be married.

Funeral services are scheduled for Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood.
