We had a "special" assembly, when I was in the 3rd year, an afterschool one.
A kid had been playing hockey, a 2nd year, and had complained to twat of a games teacher about feeling a bit ill. Twat being a twat, he told him to carry on, a few minutes later, kid collapsed and died. We found out after the postmortem he had some congenital heart thing. Still gave the teacher shit for ages though, photos of the kid put into his pigeon-hole, messages on the blackboard etc. Twat teacher lasted till the end of the school year, then had a breakdown and packed in teaching.
His parents donated his snooker table to the school though, so something positive came out of it. Happy days.

We had the opposite situation
A boy in the year below me had spilt some water on the canteen floor and one of the biology teachers slipped over on it and broke his hip. While off work recovering, he descended into alcoholism and though he returned to the school he only lasted a few months before karking it, either from a bad heart, liver failure or both. That lad went through the rest of his school career being known as "the one who killed Mr Yates".
