Coronavirus was the cause of a GCSE pupil suddenly dying according to medical tests.
Mohammed Habib was a year 10 pupil at St John Fisher Catholic College, in Newcastle-under-Lyme, when he was struck down with Covid.
It comes as investigations are today still continuing into exactly what caused the death of fellow St John Fisher Catholic College pupil Harry Towers just six days later.
Mohammed passed away on Sunday, October 24 and was buried two days later at Fenton Muslim Cemetery following a service at Markaz At-Tawheed, in Hanley.
The Stoke Sentinel has reported that a medical examination has found Mohammed died from a bleed on the brain following a stroke caused by Covid-19.
A North Staffordshire Coroner's Court spokesman said: "The coroner was provided with a cause of death which he was satisfied was natural and further investigations were not required. The cause of death was: 1a Cerebral oedema; 1b Stroke; 2: Covid-19."
The year 11 pupil - who had also contracted coronavirus - died on Saturday, October 30.
On Harry's case, the coroner's spokesman said: "A post-mortem examination has been undertaken and the investigation is still ongoing as a cause of death has not yet been provided.
"At this stage the coroner is expecting that the cause of death may be natural and so an inquest has not been opened."
Pupils at St John Fisher Catholic College had been due to have Covid vaccinations at the school just weeks before the double tragedy.
But only flu vaccinations were given at the school and the Covid jabs were rescheduled for mid-November. It is understood that neither boy had been vaccinated.
Acting headteacher Garrett Murray has today declined to comment on the coroner's findings or the delay in the school coronavirus vaccinations.
Staffordshire's director of public health Richard Harling has also so far declined to comment on the cases.
In Wales a headteacher has described the huge pressure schools are under with Covid as decisions over shutting early for Christmas are kept under daily review.
With fears over the new variant and high numbers of staff and pupils off in some areas there is also the risk and concern that people will be forced to isolate over Christmas if they test positive next week. You can read the full story here.
