    A school in California where a student on the autism spectrum died last week after being physically restrained violated several state regulations, according to findings from a preliminary investigation by the state's Department of Education.

    On Nov. 28, 13-year-old Max Benson was restrained by a staff member at his small private school in El Dorado Hills, Calif. While he was being restrained, Max lost consciousness.

    The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office was called to Guiding Hands School (GHS), where a teacher was performing CPR from the Sheriff's Office.
