A POST-MORTEM was due to take place today which will determine why the ten-year-old boy son of a Jenners tycoon died after collapsing at his school sports day.
Jack Douglas Miller was competing at the private Ardvreck School in Crieff, Perthshire on Saturday when he fell ill suddenly.

An ambulance was called to the scene and the boy was taken to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee by helicopter where he died.


A spokesman for Tayside Police said: "There are no apparent suspicious circumstances surrounding his death."

He added that a report would be sent to the procurator fiscal.

His father Andrew Douglas Miller was deputy chairman of Jenners when it was sold to the House of Fraser in 2005. His wife, Helen, has built up a luxury shoe business in the Capital.

The Douglas Millers inherited the store through their descent from James Kennedy, founder Charles Jenners' one-time apprentice and business partner. The company was sold for £46.1 million two years ago.

The incident has shocked residents of the small community of Clathy in Perthshire, where the family lived. The family, who were too upset to discuss the death yesterday, moved to the area from Edinburgh's New Town. Jack had an elder brother Wilf, 11, and a younger sister, Daisy, eight.
