A tragic incident in Schaffhausen has deeply shaken the local community.
A 13-year-old schoolgirl collapsed and died suddenly on Saturday during a soccer tournament in Herblingen.
The cause of death has not been disclosed out of respect for her family. Her school, Gräfler, has set up a memorial site and brought in extra social workers to help students cope.
City officials say they are “stunned and deeply saddened".
A memorial service was held Sunday in her honour.
