A ten-year-old boy suffered a heart attack while playing British
Bulldog in the playground - and had another one just hours later in
hospital.
Koby Hodder's heart stopped for a staggering 12 minutes after he collapsed during the game with friends during the morning break.
Quick-thinking teachers at his school, Bentley High Street Primary School in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, were able to give Koby CPR until paramedics arrived and saved his life.
Dad, builder Mark, 45, got a call from the school at around 11am on March 2, and was told to get to the school immediately.
He said: "I was working around the corner so I was able to get straight over there and when I saw Koby on the ground I knew he was dead.
"Teachers were giving him CPR but I could see he was grey and lifeless.
"I couldn't even go to him.
"I was devastated."
