John Boyega was close friends with tragic Damilola Taylor

Star Wars actor John Boyega was a close pal of tragic Damilola Taylor and one of the last people to see him alive, the stabbed schoolboy’s dad has revealed.

John has won worldwide acclaim for his role as rogue stormtrooper Finn in The Force Awakens – but has never forgotten the beloved pal who never got to grow up and fulfil his own potential.

Damilola ’s dad Richard Taylor attended the London premiere of the blockbuster alongside the actor’s proud family last week, just over 15 years after his son was stabbed to death with a broken bottle in Peckham, south east London.

John even nominated the Damilola Taylor Trust as one of the 15 good causes to share £1.35million from the charitable initiative Star Wars : Force for Change

The heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. Blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs, and without treatment, within minutes a person is typically dead.

But, a new study has suggested that sudden cardiac arrest isn't so sudden as half of sufferers experience warning signs hours, days, sometimes even weeks before cardiac arrest strikes, doctors at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles discovered.

However, most people ignore those symptoms – and miss a chance to save their own lives, according to the study.

Study leader Dr Sumeet Chugh said: ‘By the time the 911 call is made, it’s much too late for at least 90 per cent of people.

‘There’s this window of opportunity that we didn’t really know existed.’
