An eight-year-old boy has suddenly died on a family holiday.
Mohammad Anwari, from Caroline Springs in western Melbourne, was visiting Afghanistan with his family two weeks ago when his heart stopped.
The 'beautiful' eight-year-old, who was in Year 4 at Creekside College, was born with a rare heart condition that caused heart failure.
Mohammad had travelled to Afghanistan with his parents, sister and younger brother Yousef, the Herald Sun reported.
School principal Gary Eckersall sent a letter to parents informing them of Mohammad's tragic passing.
'We are saddened to inform you that one of our students in year 4, Mohammad Anwari, has passed away whilst on holidays with his family,' he wrote.
'He was a student that was well liked by all of the children in his year level and will be missed by the Creekside school community.
'We ask that you find a suitable time and space to share this information with your child, as we are aware that such a sensitive matter is best relayed by loved ones.'
Family neighbour Tammy Callejan told the newspaper that Mohammad was 'the most vivacious, funny, typical little boy'.
Mohammad had a 'beautiful smile' and enjoyed playing outside with his younger brother.
His funeral took place in Afghanistan.
