…but then the same article goes on to say…

In a statement on Saturday, the force said that "sadly, following searches, a body believed to be that of 14-year-old Layton Carr was located deceased inside the building".….


…so really I’m not sure whether he did lose his life in the building/as the result of the fire or not…

…the article in full…

That sounds to me like he may have died in elsewhere trapped in the building from the fumes / smoke, he probably would have passed out before managing to get out.

…yeah, I was trying to fathom what that wording meant and I did think of that…but it still felt odd to say ‘near the site of a fire’…you’re probably correct, though…I’m sure we’ll know more officially in the up and coming ….very, very tragic and devastating for all of the children’s families …
