Georgette Watson, 46, of Skokie, Ill. died will undergoing a root canal in the dentists chair in the offices of Feldman & Feldman DDS.. Authorities believe Watson suffered a heart attack and an autopsy is scheduled to determine the exact cause of death.
Watson had been principal of Brentano Math and Science Academy, a Chicago-area kindergarten through 8th grade school, since 2003.
Watson had been sedated before the procedure, but it was unclear whether she was unconscious or was given local anesthetic, police said. Office staff tried to revive Watson before paramedics arrived but were unsuccessful.
