Tragedy struck a Delhi school on Wednesday morning when a nine-year-old Class 3 student collapsed and died. The incident occurred shortly after the girl returned to her classroom from a games period at Lovely Heritage School in Mayur Vihar Phase 2. Disturbing CCTV footage shows the student walking into class before suddenly falling face-first to the floor. Teachers and classmates rushed to her aid, attempting resuscitation and sprinkling water on her face.
School staff quickly transported the student to a nearby hospital, which reportedly refused admission. She was then taken to another hospital in Nirman Vihar, where medical professionals declared her deceased. Initial reports suggest the cause of death may be a heart attack or cardiac arrest, pending a post-mortem examination scheduled for Thursday. The girl's family has expressed concerns about the adequacy of the emergency response, questioning whether prompt first aid and CPR were administered at the school.
