A teen girl suffered a heart attack aged just 17 after receiving her first school detention, The Sun reported Wednesday.
Tabatha McElligott, from Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, who was unaware she had a heart condition that could have killed her at any minute, was so shocked at getting in trouble for sneaking out of school without permission she collapsed.
"When we got to the gates, I could hear my teacher calling my name, and my heart started hammering. She began to tell us off, but my heart kept beating harder and harder, and her voice sounded really distant," she said.
McElligott, now aged 19, added, "I felt my legs turning to jelly, and then everything went black. I now know my heart was a ticking time-bomb waiting to go off."
