Boy, 10, dies after collapsing in shopping center

A 10-year-old boy died after collapsing during a shopping trip with his mother in the northern port city of Thessaloniki on Wednesday evening.

According to reports on Thursday, the boy's mother called an ambulance when her son said that he was feeling very unwell but he collapsed before paramedics could reach the shopping center where the incident took place.

The boy reportedly went into cardiac arrest in the ambulance and could not be revived on the way to the hospital, where doctors spent more than 45 minutes trying to save his life.

An autopsy is expected to shed light on the cause of death.
