Not nice for the family.

Poor lad :(

****ting hell.

This poor lad,I hope if it's foul pay ,the culprits will be dealt with harshly,but somehow don't think so

It sounds like suicide, it says foul play is not suspected

How very sad and so devasting for his family.

I think I may have got my wires crossed somewhere as I read 2 people had been arrested over the death of a teenage boy,it looks like this maybe a different case, aw ,feel sad that he wanted to do that at such a young age .

A 15 year old and 19 year old have been arrested...police asking for CCTV footage etc....it doesn’t sound like suicide to me...

It says in the article in the OP that the death is not being treated as suspicious is the only reason I said that

...I’m not sure but just looking at this and the top post and then the ones below relating to Lucas ...i think that these seem to be two separate things ...and nothing suspicious with Lucas’ death...

These are two separate incidents, one is a 12 year old boy in Boston Lincs, a 14 year old and 19 year old have been arrested

The second incident is the boy in Canterbury Lucas which appears to be suicide

So sad

A 14 year old boy has been charged with murder in the case of the Boston child

All one sad thread now

Boy, 14, charged with murder
of 12-year-old boy in Lincolnshire.

This type of incident is not what we would expect to see within our communities. We are working with those affected to keep them informed and offer our support.

This does not look good, an only child living with his Dad, poor little guy
