A secondary school male student in Malacca passed away after collapsing near the field while walking to the canteen yesterday morning (March 14).
The Melaka Tengah District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Christopher Patit, said the incident occurred at around 10:30 am during break time.
According to him, prior to the incident in the morning session, the 14-year-old victim had attended a physical education class for volleyball.
“Initial investigations suggest that the victim was walking to the canteen before suddenly collapsing near the school field.”
The victim was then rushed to the Melaka Hospital in an unconscious state.
“CPR was performed for 30 minutes before the doctor confirmed that the victim had passed away,” Christopher told the media.
The victim was an athlete who was very active in the school’s volleyball team.
His death has been confirmed to have no criminal elements, and the case is classified as a sudden death. The police, however, are still awaiting the full autopsy report.
