Tributes have been paid to a 'kind and curious' 10-year-old boy who died in school after a 'choking incident'. Oscar Roome was rushed to hospital from Kidmore End CE Primary School in Caversham on Friday after choking during lunchtime.
Despite the efforts of staff who reacted quickly, he lost consciousness and later sadly died on Saturday surrounded by his family. An inquest into the young boy's death is set to start today. Oscar's family paid tribute to him in a statement.
They said: "Our beautiful boy, Oscar, was just starting to blossom. Staff at Kidmore End, especially Mr. Heritage (Year 5), and Miss Dove (Year 6), encouraged Oscar to engage and explore. He did just that.
