Shock as second young boy suffers cardiac death

A FAMILY and rural community in Co Tyrone is in mourning after a 10-year-old boy died on the pitch during Gaelic football training on Tuesday night.

Patrick Breen from Drumquin, near Omagh, is the second young victim of sudden cardiac death in two days.

Patrick’s death came hours after a 16-year-old boy died in school in Co Meath. Tony Parker collapsed at the Moate Community School just before a physical education class.
