Tragic accident

Boy (9) collapses and dies during school sports

Unbelievable tragedy during sports lessons. A nine-year-old schoolboy in the German state of Baden-Württemberg collapsed and died shortly afterwards in hospital.

According to a police spokesman, the boy first had to be resuscitated during the emergency on the pitch of a sports facility in the district town of Lahr. He was then flown by rescue helicopter to a clinic, where he died shortly afterwards.

Outside influence ruled out for the time being
An external cause has been ruled out for the time being, which is why no investigations are underway. The spokesperson was initially unable to provide any further details.
