Three Students Electrocuted, One Fighting Life Millfield School Somerset

Fourteen-year-old Chase Allen, a talented athlete at Millfield School in Somerset, is fighting for his life after being electrocuted by a high voltage power cable along with two other students. Chase suffered extensive injuries affecting his internal organs and severe burns that have led to the amputation of most of his toes, with the potential for further foot amputations as NHS surgeons work to save them. The incident prompted an emergency response including ambulances, an air ambulance, a specialist hazard team, fire engine, and police. Chase's family has described him as bright, athletic, and determined, emphasizing the long and challenging recovery ahead, which may require at least two months of hospitalization and multiple surgeries. A GoFundMe page has been established to support his medical expenses, rehabilitation, and to assist his family, who are currently separated across different countries. The Health and Safety Executive has launched an investigation into how this tragic accident occurred at the prestigious school.
