An Indian-origin student at a sports school in Singapore died after feeling unwell following a fitness trial last week. The school has said it is initiating a detailed investigation into the death of the 14-year-old student. 

Pranav Madhaik felt unwell following a 400m fitness time trial on October 5, Channel News Asia reported, adding that Pranav was part of the Singapore Badminton Association’s (SBA) national intermediate squad, a youth training program for promising players.

Pranav was taken to the National University Hospital where he died. The cremation ceremony was held on Wednesday evening.

“We will undertake a detailed investigation into the incident and thoroughly review our safety protocols, and will keep parents updated," CNA quoted the Singapore Sports School as saying on Wednesday.

"As investigations are ongoing, we are not able to provide further details at this point. We seek the public’s understanding to give the family privacy during this time of grief,” the school said.

The School said that it was “deeply saddened” by Pranav’s passing and extended condolences to his family. It added that Pranav was a role model student and athlete who excelled in badminton and had exemplary character. The school said that it will continue supporting Pranav's family.
