9-Year-Old Girl Suffers Heart Attack, Brother Died in Same Manner Four Months Ago

A 9-year-old girl in Rajasthan died after suffering a heart attack during a school prayer assembly.

A tragic incident occurred in Rajasthan where a 9-year-old girl named Divya collapsed during a morning assembly at her private school and sadly passed away. Initial assessments by doctors suggest that a heart attack was the likely cause of her sudden death. Divya was a fifth-grade student who arrived at school as usual, but collapsed while standing in line during the prayer session. Footage from the school's CCTV captured the moment she lost consciousness and fell backwards.

School staff promptly rushed her to the local government hospital where attempts were made to revive her, but unfortunately, she was declared dead upon arrival. The local doctors suggested that her death might be the result of cardiac arrest. In a heartbreaking twist, it was revealed that her family had recently gone through a similar tragedy, as her brother had also died in a similar manner just four months prior, raising serious concerns among the community.

This incident sheds light on the growing instances of health issues among young children, prompting discussions around the need for awareness regarding children's health and preventative measures in schools. While the family declined an autopsy, preferring to bury their daughter, the community is left grappling with the fear and sorrow over these unexpected, tragic events affecting their children.
