SINGAPORE: Speculation that the death of a 14-year-old Singapore Sports School student is linked to COVID-19 vaccination is "untrue and irresponsible", said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Saturday (Oct 14).

Secondary 2 student Pranav Madhaik died on Wednesday after he felt unwell during a 400m fitness time trial on Oct 5.

On Saturday afternoon, the school revealed that the cause of death was cardiac arrest with antecedent cause of congenital malformation of coronary vessels.
