Santa dies handing out presents.

Major condolences to his family and friends!</p>

A man dressed as Santa collapsed and died as he handed out presents at a children's Christmas party.</p>

Andrew Robertson became ill as excited youngsters were being given their gifts.</p>

The 82-year-old was taken to a side room, still in his Father Christmas suit, and attempts were made to revive him. But when medics arrived, he was pronounced dead.</p>

Mr Robertson, from Dundee, had played Santa for several years at the city's Broughty Castle Bowling Club's Christmas party, which is held for the grandchildren of members.</p>

Ian Smart, the bowling club's secretary, said: &quot;Andy was a father figure in the club who never had a bad word to say about anyone.</p>

&quot;One wee kid said 'how are we going to get our presents next week if Father Christmas is ill?' - they didn't understand what had happened.&quot;</p>

Mr Smart said Mr Robertson had played an active role in the bowling club.</p>

&quot;He was well-liked and will be sorely missed,&quot; he said.</p>

His brother Alister said he had complained about feeling hot shortly before he collapsed on Sunday afternoon.</p>

 

Oh thank goodness it wasn't really Santa

but somebody dressed up as him, otherwise there would be a lot of upset children on Christmas Day.
