A 13-year-old who fought a brave eight-month battle with cancer has died.
Angus Rowland documented his struggle with the illness on Facebook after being diagnosed with the disease in September.
Angus, who was a Year 9 student at St Paul’s Catholic College in Burgess Hill, played a starring role in the school’s Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors show in November last year but within weeks was seriously ill.
The teenager, from Staplefield, near Haywards Heath, joined Facebook and used an iPhone so he could tell friends from his hospital bed about his experience of the illness, believed to be a form of leukaemia.
His final post was to say how much he enjoyed one of the last gatherings with his friends on May 14.
He wrote: “Awesome time with everyone at the Harvester – that made my week.”
But sadly 12 days later he died.
On Thursday his profile was updated to say: “Angus has gone now but he wanted me to say that he will miss you all so much and you will always be in his heart.”
