The Metropolitan Police described his death as “unexpected” and confirmed that it is currently not being treated as suspicious. The boy’s family is receiving support from specially trained officers.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson stated, “At 1:25 pm on Tuesday, police were summoned by the London Ambulance Service to a school in Bromley, where a 15-year-old boy was experiencing a medical crisis.
“London’s Air Ambulance transported the boy to the hospital, where he sadly later died.
“The death of the boy is considered unexpected but not suspicious at this moment. Both his family and the school are being supported by officers.”
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson added, “We received a call at 1:20 pm on Tuesday, May 13, about a person feeling unwell at Hawkwood Lane, Chislehurst.
