A school and travel company have been fined after a student fell fatally ill on a trip to Vietnam. Melbourne's Kilvington Grammar School student Lachlan Cook, 16, was on a class expedition to Vietnam in September 2019 when he suffered complications from his type-1 diabetes. He began vomiting, complaining of abdominal pain and his blood sugar levels were high, but staff only took him to a local hospital after he became unresponsive. Vision courtesy: AAP
