Hamdan Aslam, 14, taken to hospital on Tuesday Police say investigation ongoing LONDON: A 14-year-old boy who died after a “playground incident” with another pupil at a school in Scotland has been named. Hamdan Aslam was taken to hospital on Tuesday after emergency services were called to St Kentigern’s Academy in Blackburn, Bathgate, West Lothian. He was later pronounced dead. Police Scotland said they were told of the incident at 1:20 p.m. Tuesday, adding: “Officers were called to a report of concern for a 14-year-old boy at a school in the Bathgate area. “He was taken by ambulance to hospital for treatment, but died a short time later. His family have been informed and inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the death.” The police did not comment further, but sources told Sky News “no criminality” occurred in the incident, which involved two pupils. The local Bathgate Mosque said in a statement: “During these difficult moments, the (Aslam) family needs our support and prayers. “We ask Allah to grant Hamdan the highest rank in Jannah and provide the family with sabr (patience) to bear this loss. It is crucial that we refrain from making assumptions and speculations regarding this tragedy.” St Kentigern’s Academy headteacher, Andrew Sharkey, said pupils and staff were receiving support, with the school having previously confirmed an “isolated incident” had occurred. Local Member of the Scottish Parliament Fiona Hyslop tweeted: “My deepest condolences are with the family and friends of the pupil who has died at St Kentigern’s Academy in my constituency. “I hope those closest to him are given the privacy they deserve at this tragic time. Pupils and staff I am sure will be supported through this period.” The nearby St John the Baptist Parish Church, Fauldhouse, posted to its congregation on Facebook: “Can you please keep the family and friends of the young S3 pupil who sadly passed away after an incident at St Kentigern’s Academy in your thoughts and prayers.”
