THE FUNERAL of a 13-year-old Perth boy who collapsed and died at the weekend was held yesterday.

Friends and family of Perth Grammar pupil Callum Ford gathered at the Church of The Nazarene, York Place, to celebrate his life.

Callum, of Rannoch Road, was at Perth Leisure Centre on Saturday evening with a group of friends when he collapsed in the changing rooms and lost consciousness.

Paramedics attended and he was taken by ambulance directly to Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, where he died on Sunday.

A former pupil of Letham Primary and Goodlyburn Primary in Perth, Callum was an S2 pupil at Perth Grammar School, where he played for their rugby and football teams.

Callum is survived by his father Lindsay Ford, mother Maureen Ferguson, his stepfather Martin Ferguson, stepmother Maryanne Ford, brothers John and Craig, and sisters Hannah, Ashleigh and Sarah.

In line with Callum’s own wishes his vital organs were donated to help others.
