A GRIEVING father spoke yesterday of his anguish after his teenage son died during a school lesson.
Jamie Bucknell, 14, collapsed in front of classmates during an English lesson at Huntington School, York, on Monday.
His father, Keith, said: "Jamie was a happy and out-going boy. He was up for anything. He just loved life.
"Everything he did, he did with a big smile on his face. He loved everybody and everybody loved him."
A post-mortem examination yesterday revealed that Jamie died of natural causes, and police said that no inquest would be held.
Pupils were told of Jamie's death at an afternoon assembly. Children in his class are to be offered counselling by a City of York Council educational services team
