FOR THE SECOND time in four days, a primary school has been rocked by the sudden death of one of its students.

On Monday pupils at Lawrence T. Gay Memorial reflected sadly on the life of six-year-old Johann King, joining the family of Welches Primary School who were still struggling with the loss of Abijah Holder-Phillips, 11, who died in a traffic accident shortly after leaving his graduation ceremony on Friday.

It was not business as usual after news reached the Spooners Hill, St Michael school on Monday that King had passed away at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) under mysterious circumstances.
