A dad whose son died suddenly of a hidden heart condition has created a lasting legacy in time for his 24th birthday.
Oliver King was just 12 years old when he died of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) during a swimming race at King David High School in Childwall. Since his death in March 2011, Oliver's dad, Mark King and The Oliver King Foundation (The OK Foundation), have campaigned tirelessly to get the government to place defibrillators into every school in the hope no other child will die in the same way.
The ECHO visited King David High School today where the first defibrillator was placed in what was described as a landmark day. The life saving equipment will now be rolled out into every state school across the country by the end of this academic year.
