A family have been left devastated by the sudden death of their nine-year-old son.
Harvey Grove became ill on August 7. He was taken to hospital and it was discovered the 9-year-old had a bleed on the brain from a ruptured blood vessel.
The youngster passed away that evening leaving his parents Rhian, 37, and Phill Grove, 39, from Briton Ferry heartbroken by the sudden death of their "blue-eyed boy", Wales Online reports.
Mum Rhian said: "Harvey became unwell suddenly on Saturday morning so was taken to Morriston A&E where they did a CT head to determine what was happening.
"It was then they discovered he had a bleed on the brain from a ruptured blood vessel which we had no control over.
"They decided he needed to be transferred to children's ITU in Cardiff where the neurosurgeons tried to drain the blood. However, it was unsuccessful and Harvey passed away peacefully with us all by his side."
Rhian said Harvey and dad Phill were like "two peas in a pod". Harvey was a member of The Rock Project, which helps teach young people music skills and to perform as part of a band, where he was said to have made a big impact.
Rhian described Harvey as "a little rock star."
The nine-year-old also loved karate and gaming.
A JustGiving page has since been set up by Rhian's colleagues on ward 12 at Singleton Hospital to help the family. They have raised over £10,000 so far.
Writing on the page, Rhian's colleagues said: "As friends and colleagues of Rhian we are all devastated over the sudden and tragic loss of Harvey. No-one can comprehend or begin to imagine what it is like to suffer the loss of a child. Rhian and her husband Phill are inevitably heartbroken over the loss of their 9-year-old son.
"Rhian has always spoken so lovingly of her blue-eyed boy and his love for rugby, karate, guitars and the school of rock. We would be grateful if you could keep the Grove family in your thoughts and prayers.
"As a team it is difficult to know what to say or do to support the family. Therefore, we kindly ask for any donation possible to help ease financial pressures in this difficult time."
A friend of Rhian said the death of Harvey was "out of the blue."
"Obviously they (Harvey's parents) are absolutely devastated, they are in absolute shock to be honest. He was absolutely fine up until it happened.
"Nothing will bring Harvey back but the worry of finances is something they hopefully won't have to think about now, a few of us had the idea at the same time and set it up (fundraiser) straight away," she said.
