A 14-year-old pupil, who collapsed during an alleged fight at a Glasgow school, has died.
Euan Craig was taken to the city's Southern General Hospital after an altercation outside his school gym at around 11.45am on Wednesday.
The teenager died just after noon yesterday. It is understood his family was by his bedside.
Tributes began appearing on an online memorial dedicated to Euan as news of his death emerged.
Another 14-year-old boy appeared in court yesterday in connection with the incident. The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with assault to severe injury and danger of life when he appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
He made no plea or declaration and was released on bail.
In a statement released through Glasgow City Council, the school's headteacher said there would be support for pupils, who have been visibly upset by the news.
"The whole school community obviously feels a deep sense of grief and our thoughts are with his family at this devastating time," the statement said.
"We are doing everything that we can to support all of our young people and staff."
A police spokeswoman said: "Sympathies are extended to his family. A full report will be submitted to the procurator- fiscal."
Hundreds of tributes were posted online for Euan, who is believed to have suffered a seizure, and flowers were laid at a private spot inside the school.
One pupil said: "Everyone's just devastated. Some people have been let out of classes crying."
Another wrote on a Pray for Euan webpage: "RIP Euan, always in our hearts. Third year loves you."
A friend added: "Such an amazing boy that we've all lost. Love you."
Another said: "Shine on kid. Have a blast wee man, you'll meet us all again one day. Shine bright."
A girl posted: "God wanted an angel and he got one, [you] didn't deserve to die so young."
While another female said: "My thoughts go out to his family and close friends. No- one deserves to die at the age of 14."
Local woman Fiona Todd added: "Another young life snuffed out needlessly ... thoughts and prayers with your family at this distressing time."
Police remained at the school throughout yesterday.
Glasgow City Council, which runs the school where the incident took place, has been liaising with the police.
