A Massachusetts high school teacher died after breaking up a fight between a teenage couple.

Douglas Vaughn Lloyd stopped breathing and turned blue shortly after intervening to break up the scuffle between a 16-year-old boy and his girlfriend at a school in Fitchburg, Mass., Friday morning, The Boston Globe reported.

Lloyd was rushed to nearby Leominster hospital and pronounced dead. The teenagers are facing domestic assault charges in juvenile court.

"There was hitting and yelling involved," one student told a local Fox News affiliate. "He wasn't feeling too good after they split up and he just collapsed."

It does not appear that Lloyd was actually struck by either teenager during the altercation. His cause of death is, for now, unknown. Police and state forensics experts are investigating the case, according to The Boston Globe.
