Daniel Farr Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jan. 7 to Mar. 12, 2009.
A popular Prospect School pupil mysteriously died on Sunday after falling ill over the weekend. Twelve-year-old Daniel Farr was in Year 8 at the school in Cockney Hill, Tilehurst. Louisa John, a spokeswoman for Prospect School, said the cause of Daniel’s death was as yet unknown. Daniel is thought to have fallen ill after attending a friend’s birthday party on Friday night. She said: “His siblings also attend the school, so we are handling the situation with care.” The Evening Post understands his family made calls to an out-of-hours doctor service prior to his death. A spokesman for West Berkshire PCT said: “We are all extremely saddened by this tragic event and our thoughts are primarily with the family at this time. “We are currently undertaking a thorough investigation of all the circumstances.” Head of Year 8 Sally Elliott paid tribute to the “delightful student”. She said: “Staff and students were totally devastated to hear the tragic news about Daniel. “He was a lovely young man and a delightful student. He was quiet, hard-working and had a lot of friends, who are all missing him terribly. “We are offering all the support we can to the children who were close to Daniel and we will be working with them on a suitable way of commemorating his life at the school.”
