Tragic schoolboy Hamdan Aslam's cause of death revealed
“We want to assure Hamdan’s friends and our community that this was an entirely natural death and could not have been predicted.
“A full police investigation is being carried out, but we can confirm that Hamdan had a pre-existing heart condition that had never been detected, and sadly his death could have occurred at any time.“We know that Hamdan’s loss is being deeply felt by his friends and teachers and we would urge those who have engaged in rumours on social media to stop, it is untruthful and compounding our grief.
It added: “Please take down the posts, the running commentary is unhelpful to the children, teachers and our family who have been left deeply traumatised and devastated. “We know that Hamdan’s teachers and friends did everything possible to save his life and for that our family will for ever be grateful to them.”
Chief Inspector Jocelyn O’Connor said: “This has been a tragic incident which has deeply affected everyone at the school. Our thoughts remain with Hamdan's family and friends at this very difficult time and we are providing our support to them.We pay for your stories and videos!
