A young Leicester City football fan collapsed and died after becoming upset when his team lost 2-0 in an FA Cup match. Tom Bedford, 16, was watching the match between his team and Tottenham on a TV in his bedroom when he told his mum he was struggling to breathe. His parents, John and Helen have been told his death was caused either by arrhythmia - irregular heart beat - or a blood clot and are urging parents to get their children tested.
Dad John, 48, also a fan, was watching the game downstairs because "they had a tendency to wind each other up" while watching football. He said: "He burst into the room after the second goal had gone in, he was upset and he told me so - the game was still going on. I heard Helen shout me from upstairs."
Mum Helen, 48, said: "He said he couldn't breathe, because he did take the game so seriously." After he collapsed, his dad tried to give him CPR, but neither he nor medics could save him. Tom was rushed from his home to hospital, but he later died.
