Parents received devastating phone call from son's school

A nine-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after he collapsed suddenly at school.

Alex Darracott went to school as normal one morning last week, but by lunchtime, his parents Cris and Melissa received a devastating phone call to say Alex had collapsed suddenly.
