A 14-year-old boy who died following an incident at a Scots school passed away from natural causes, police have said.Officers were called to a report of concern for Hamdan Aslam at St Kentigern’s Academy in Blackburn, West Lothian, at around 1.20pm on Tuesday June 6.

He was taken to hospital by ambulance but died a short time later.A post-mortem examination has confirmed Hamdan died from natural causes, as the youngster had a pre-existing heart condition that had gone unnoticed.

His family have urged people who have speculated on social media about the cause of his death to remove their posts, adding: "It was God's will."In a statement issued via solicitor Aamer Anwar, Hamdan’s family said: “Our family is left devastated by the sudden and tragic loss of our beautiful boy Hamdan who brought so much joy to our lives.

We want to assure Hamdan’s friends and our community that this was an entirely natural death and could not have been predicted.“A full police investigation is being carried out, but we can confirm that Hamdan had a pre-existing heart condition that had never been detected, and sadly his death could have occurred at any time.
