[B]A 12-year-old girl has died after being hit by a rugby ball during a PE lesson at a school in Essex.[/B] Leonie Nice was at Woodlands Comprehensive School, Takely End, in Basildon, when the incident happened at about 12:30 GMT. Essex Police said the "[B]girl was taken ill after being hit by a ball[/B]". Police said despite the efforts of school staff, paramedics and hospital staff, the girl died a short time later at Basildon Hospital. Andy White, head teacher at the school, said: "[B]Leonie Nice, a year seven pupil, was catching a rugby ball in a PE lesson when she was hit in the chest by the ball.[/B] "Leonie keeled over and appeared to go into a fit. Our trained first-aiders gave CPR at the scene and the ambulance arrived quickly. "Leonie was taken by ambulance to Basildon Hospital where [B]despite everyone's best efforts, Leonie was pronounced dead.[/B]" Mr White said pupils and parents had been informed of her death. Students who require support are being looked after by school staff and specialist staff from Essex County Council's Support Team, he added. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time," he said. "Leonie was a promising, delightful and kind girl who will be greatly missed by all the staff and pupils of Woodlands School."

What a crap way to die. So young too.
This is why PE should be banned!
If that happened to everyone who got hit I'd be a mass murderer by the age of 9
Dodgeball is hardcore in the UK.
a girl being hit by a ball and dying later, thats just unbelievable. it proves how vulnerable the human body is
[QUOTE=The golden;35122982]Holy shit. How hard was she hit?[/QUOTE] She probably had an underlying problem they didnt know about that was set off when she was hit (Maybe a heart problem?)
The person who threw the ball must feel so guilty
First that 10 year old girl who got punched and died, and now this? Jesus Christ, what the fuck are we feeding preteens these days to make them so fragile? Poor girl. She was probably really [I]Nice[/I]. This is probably a freak occurrence with like a 1 to 1000000000 chance of happening.

[QUOTE=GunFox;35123013]Dodgeball is hardcore in the UK.[/QUOTE] Apart from it being a rugby ball.
At first I thought it was a dodgeball accident. When I found out it was a rugby ball......ouch.
I giggled, See you guys in hell i guess.
ban PE
Christ, that is one shitty way to die. Poor girl.

Obviously exercise is dangerous and should be banned.
Wow, poor girl. I feel sorry for the person who threw the ball, too Note to self: never go outside again

pe should be banned, killed 2 kids in the matter of 2 weeks in the UK.
[QUOTE=gamerman345;35123068]Oh christ, Basildon is literally a 20 minute drive from where I live.[/QUOTE] Careful a rugby ball doesn't fly your way! I hear they're contagious RUGBY 2012 - know the truth
And now for the inevitable tighter health and safety regulations
Triggered an irregular heartbeat?
Who needs muscles anyway. I'm giving up all physical activities.
[QUOTE=markg06;35123044]Apart from it being a rugby ball.[/QUOTE] Yeah, see, dodgeball is hardcore in the UK. Getting hit with a rugby ball would hurt.
Guys, knock it off with the "was a shitty way to die", every death sucks and it is shitty, I imagine the girl's family is having a rough time. <3 to them.
[QUOTE=GunFox;35123013]Dodgeball is hardcore in the UK.[/QUOTE] When I had to do PE in school, the PE teacher would frequently claim that one team was undermanned and disadvantaged, and would join that team. God forbid you be against him, the balls were softballs, but hit like a fucking rock. Then again, he's basically the only properly fit P.E. teacher, most of the others are rampant alcoholics who go out to drink at lunchtime.
Suddenly I got a wave of memories of getting hit in the nuts all the time during dodgeball. Does not feel good :(
We had some kid die in my high school after he was hit in the chest by a hockey puck. Shit just happens.
