Coronavirus: 13-year-old boy dies, says London hospital trust
A spokesman for the trust said the boy’s death had been referred to the coroner, but gave no further details.
As of 17:00 BST on Monday, the number of UK deaths was 1,789.
The latest figures saw a daily increase of 381 – the biggest rise so far.
Ismail’s family said they were "beyond devastated" by his death, in a statement released by a family friend.
They said he had no apparent underlying health conditions and tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday, a day after he was admitted to hospital.
BBC health correspondent Nick Triggle said it was rare for teenagers to become seriously ill after being infected with coronavirus.
"Just 0.3% of those who show symptoms require hospital care and 0.006% die – in other words, two out of every 30,000 infections among this age group will not survive," he said.
