Emlyn was walking to the bus stop to catch his bus to school as usual on the morning of 9th June 2010. 

He suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed and died despite the valiant efforts of a passing off-duty policeman, attending paramedics and doctors. 

We had the inquest at the Westminster Coroners Court on Wednesday 1st September where it was confirmed that he had a ‘sudden arrhythmic cardiac death’. 

His death came out of the blue and has shocked all his family and friends. 

He was only 14½ years old, but was very big and strong for his age.  He was 1.87m tall and weighed about 85kg. 

He was kind and gentle and his schoolmates called him the ‘BFG’ (Big Friendly Giant).
