Teenage schoolboy dies after 'bad reaction to Ecstasy' He then added on Monday: "Bless him, Dan died about 12.50. We're all shell shocked... A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "On Saturday at about 4am we were called by London Ambulance Service to reports of an unconscious male at an illegal rave on an industrial site at Pump Lane, Silverdale Road, Hayes. A 16-year-old boy was taken to a west London hospital. He was believed to be suffering from the effects of a drugs overdose. He was later transferred to a central London hospital, where he died on Monday. A post-mortem examination will be held in due course. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, officers arrested two men, aged 18 and 19, both from Croydon, on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs. They are currently in custody. Daniel's father, Tim Spargo-Mabbs, works for Christian charity L'Arche Lambeth in south London, and his mother Fiona is an education manager with Croydon Council. His older brother Jacob attended the same school as him. Richard Parrish, the headmaster of Archbishop Tenison's Church of England High School, a comprehensive known for its high academic standards and Christian ethos, wrote to other parents on Monday and cancelled afternoon classes for the Sixth Form. He said in a hearfelt statement: "Sometimes you hope that the worst thing won't happen. Sometimes it does happen anyway. And yesterday it did. We began Monday knowing that Daniel Spargo-Mabbs, one of our Year 12 students, who has been with us in the school since Year 7, was in a critical condition on a life support machine. At lunch-time he died. In the afternoon we spoke to each year group in turn, starting with his own, to tell them the terrible news. Today we begin again, knowing that our school and the world is the poorer without him. Mr Parrish added: "Our heart goes out to Daniel's family, to his parents, to his brother Jacob (who did his A-Levels here last summer) and to his closest friends. To them we want to say the same as we are saying to ourselves: that what has happened to Daniel is not normal. It is not normal that a bright, articulate, talented 16 year-old should be taken from us in this way. It is not normal that his school and, above all, his family should be grieving today for his loss to us. It is not normal that his year group and his friends should have to learn so soon in life how short that life can be.
