DeKalb County schools officials say a bus mechanic who collapsed while waiting to speak at a school board meeting has died.

Officials say Gregory Davis was next in line to speak at the meeting Monday afternoon when he fell to the ground and appeared to have trouble breathing.

The meeting went on after a break and moment of silence and interim Superintendent Michael Thurmond told the audience that Davis had died.
