Singapore: After an athlete of Indian descent died, an investigation uncovered a safety breach, and the coach was given a notice of dismissal.

The badminton coach of a 14-year-old student-athlete of Indian descent who died at the Singapore Sports School forgot to check on him before leaving the court, according to an inquiry into the incident.

According to a report on Saturday from Channel News Asia, the coach has received a notice of termination.

On October 5, Pranav Madhaik, a member of the school’s badminton academy who had aspirations of becoming an Olympic champion, felt uncomfortable during a 400-meter fitness time trial.

Pranav passed away on Wednesday, October 11, after being brought to the National University Hospital.

The Singapore Sports School outlined the sequence of events leading up to the boy’s death and the investigation’s conclusions in a news statement on Saturday.

On October 5, at about 6:26 p.m., Pranav reported to the badminton coach that he felt sick after finishing his time trial practice.

According to the school, time trials and conditioning exercises are often included in student-athletes’ training schedules.

As Pranav had previously reported feeling ill but had recovered after sleeping, the coach instructed him to take it easy.

While the coach looked at the time-trial data on his phone, Pranav took a break at the starting line.

He then left the track to inform other student-athletes about competition-related issues, not realizing Pranav was still taking a nap there.

Following the briefing, the coach departed the school’s grounds.

Before leaving the court, the badminton coach ought to have made sure Pranav was okay, according to the school.

He violated the school’s safety policies by failing to account for all of his student-athletes before removing them from practice.

“This issue is carefully considered by the Singapore Sports School. “A notice of dismissal has been served on the coach,” it said.

“The school is also reviewing and strengthening all its safety protocols, and emphasised to coaches and staff the importance of adhering to them.”

Pranav engaged with two more groups of passing student-athletes while he was taking a nap.

A handful of them came up to him, but they claim they didn’t see anything odd about Pranav at the moment.

Around 6:35 o’clock, Pranav talked with the last group. Five minutes later, a passing track and field coach saw him standing by the side of the track and went over to see how he was doing.

A student-athlete was instructed by the coach to get the adolescent some water. The student-athlete made a second journey to fetch cold water after bringing water back, per Pranav’s request.

After determining that Pranav needed assistance from other student-athletes to get up, the track and field coach at 6.45 p.m. alerted the school’s boarding staff to aid.

Around 6.50 p.m., an ambulance was summoned, and three minutes later, Pranav’s parents received a call from the school’s boarding staff.

At about 7:02 p.m., the ambulance came, and at around 7:19 p.m., it took the youngster to the National University Hospital. The badminton coach, who had originally left the school grounds, was accompanying Pranav.

After being taken to the hospital and receiving treatment, Pranav passed away on October 11. According to the school, the victim died of cardiac arrest with congenital coronary vessel abnormality being the primary cause of death.

According to the school, it met with Pranav’s parents on Friday night and informed them of its findings.

“The school extends our deepest condolences to the family of Pranav, and is supporting the family in their time of grief,” said the announcement.
