Quebec boy dies after schoolyard shoving match


Tuesday, November 13, 2007

A 12-year-old boy died Monday morning after he was hit by a girl during morning recess at a Laurentians-area school north of Montreal, police said. Provincial police said the children were arguing in the schoolyard in Saint-Eustache and insulting each other when the quarrel escalated into a shoving match. The 11-year-old girl allegedly punched the boy in the chest. The boy, who was in Grade 6, then collapsed, according to eyewitness reports.

He was taken to hospital unconscious and died later. The girl has been placed in the care of youth protection officials. Officials at the Horizon-Soleil school said that neither of the two students had a history of violence, but noted that the boy who died was known by staff to have cardiac problems stemming from heart arrhythmia, or an irregular heartbeat. Still, the boy was reportedly healthy enough to participate in gym class.

This is very sad, and mystery news, because 13 years old died after hit by a girl during morning recess. Even boy got hit by chest, and the boy wouldn’t be died, because of it. As a mention in a summary, I think boy died, because of the his unknown cardiac problems or an irregular heartbeat and school said that neither of the two studnets had a history of violence. By the this news, we always should not allow school vilolence, or any viloence in the our society.

I don't understnad why someone that had heart irregularities would even be going into something like that. The school should know about it, and tell the teachers, who in turn should tell students about who ever has this, and that they shouldn't be getting into any fights or quarrels with them.
