An inquest has been opened into the death of a 13-year-old Nottingham boy who collapsed after coming home from playing football. Kellum Thomas died on June 9 last year after having a kick around with his friends close to his home in Top Valley.
He was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre where he later died. He had underlying health issues and a heart condition and attended Westbury Academy in Bilborough, which provides support for children with physical, mental and social health difficulties.
An inquest into Kellum's death was opened at Nottingham Council House on Tuesday, May 10, by assistant coroner Fiona Gingell. She said the 13-year-old had been beside his mum, Jodie Wilson, when he died at the hospital.
