A 6-year-old boy studying in Chandivali's Pawar Public School died shortly after he collapsed in the school premises on Thursday morning. Swarang Dalvi, a Class 1 student, was playing with his friends during the short break at around 10.10 am when he collapsed.
After school officials were alerted by the child's fellow classmates, he was taken to the medical room in the school where the doctor reportedly suggested that the child be taken to the hospital as he was not responding. School officials rushed him to the nearby Hiranandani hospital where he was declared dead.
School officials said that the incident was shocking for them as the child had no medical history and looked fine that day. "We are really shocked and saddened by what has happened. He was playing with the children outside their second floor classroom when he fell on the floor. We took him to the hospital immediately." said Dr Madhura Phadke, Principal of the school.
