First picture of 'beautiful' Birmingham boy who died after 'bumping his head' at school

The devastated family of a Birmingham schoolboy who died suddenly have paid tribute to their "beautiful and kind-hearted" son. Small Heath schoolboy Muhammed Yaseen Uddin died after suffering what his parents described as a bump on his head.

The six-year-old was pictured beaming and on a bouncy castle in a picture released by his family. His dad Simriel Uddin, 41, said the child, who was known a Yaseen, returned home from school, had Calpol at home and went to sleep after vomiting.

He was said to have slept soundly throughout the night but did not awake the next morning. The family are now awaiting the outcome of a post-mortem examination. The headteacher of Marlborough Primary School, where Yaseen attended, said the community was ‘devastated’.

His family said he was rushed to hospital but doctors were unable to save his life. Dad Simriel, who works in engineering, said: "I want to build a mosque or a remembrance place for him. He was very energetic and he had a lot of friends - he was a loving beautiful child. We had nicknames for each other - I would call him Gecko and Sonic and he had me as Catboy from TV's PJ Masks.

"We had bought tickets to see the new Sonic film together - we can't go now." Recalling the day before his son died on December 10, Simriel said his wife received a call to say Yaseen had fallen at school and had a bump on his head. "We gave him some Calpol at home. On the way back, he said he'd like some grapes and chips from the chip shop.

"At home, he watched TV as normal and at 7pm we celebrated his sister's birthday. It had been about eight hours since the accident.

"At 9.30pm, he said he was hungry again so we got him something and we tried to give him some more medicine at 10pm. He spat the medicine out as he couldn't swallow it and then vomited out a chip but I thought it was to do with the medicine.

"Throughout the night he slept in our bedroom and he was sound asleep when I checked on him at 3am." Simriel left for work early the following morning after seeing Yaseen and his family were all sleeping.

At around 9am, Simriel received a call from the school to ask how Yaseen was doing. But less than two hours later, he took a call from his wife and all he could hear was screaming and his name being shouted.

Simriel's "heart dropped" and he raced home to find police officers and paramedics outside his home and no sign of his son. Yaseen had been rushed to hospital.

Simriel said the days since had "blurred into one" but he was thankful for the support he and the family received. He said he wanted to have a mosque built in Pakistan - somewhere he said Yaseen was particularly fond of.

The fundraiser currently sits at over £5,000 - more than half of the £8,000 required. Simriel said: "We have a very supportive community.

He really touched a lot of his friends and their parent's lives - he was a beautiful child. He went to Pakistan twice and he liked it a lot. So we want to build it there to help communities."

School headteacher Razia Ali previously said: “While some of you may already be aware of this, it is my sad duty to ensure you are all aware of the tragic news that one of our pupils, Mohammed Yaseen Uddin, a wonderful and much-loved child in Year 2, passed away yesterday.

“This has come as a huge shock and we know it will be extremely upsetting for many within our school community. Yaseen was an incredibly helpful, kind and caring pupil who brought a smile to the face of everyone who came across him." You can read Ms Ali's full tribute here.
