A 9-year-old boy died Friday after collapsing in a hallway inside his Philadelphia school.
The third grade child fell ill at Hartranft Elementary School in the city's Kensington neighborhood during the morning hours, a spokesperson for the School District of Philadelphia said.
District officials aren't saying what led to the boy's death. He has yet to be publicly identified. They did send a letter home to parents and deployed a robocall to inform them of the incident.
Earlier, district officials said the boy was 8 years old, but later corrected his age to 9 years old.
The school will have counselors available for students and family from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
