Tributes have been paid to a "kind and curious" boy who died in school after a choking incident. Oscar Roome, 10, was rushed to hospital from Kidmore End CE Primary School in Reading on Friday after struggling to swallow a piece of food at lunchtime.
Staff reacted to the incident quickly but despite their best efforts, he lost consciousness and died the following day, surrounded by his family. As reported by Wales Online, an inquest into Oscar's death is set to start today.
His heartbroken family paid tribute to him in a statement as they thanked the staff that battled to save his life. Loved ones hailed his "thirst for knowledge and understanding" as well as his "kindness and humility".
