š Share this article Teenager Discovered Dead Following Untrue Accusations of Stealing Ashes Personal Snapshot The teenager's parents found his body in his bedroom in November 2021 One 14-year-old boy was found dead just days after being wrongly accused of stealing the cremated remains of a deceased baby during a burglary, an inquest has heard. Tragic Discovery Kai Lloyd's parents found his remains in his bedroom at his Connah's Quay home on 19 November 2021. Untrue Accusations Start The investigation learned how his parent got a message on November 8th, 2021 via online platforms, from a individual asking if her son was her child. The communication added: "Tell him thanks for breaking into my apartment." In a testimony presented to the proceedings, Lisa Lloyd said the individual had been in the media, asserting her infant's ashes had been taken in a break-in - a allegation which was false. Police Inquiry An official inquiry from police later concluded the supposed burglary victim had "lied to police" and "it now appears that the items was never stolen in the first place". News coverage about the alleged taken remains generated online responses, and although Kai was not identified in the posts, his mother said individuals "understood it was him". The "social media content were extremely upsetting", she stated. Mental Wellbeing Effect She added that Kai had been diagnosed with moderate attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and as part of that disorder, other individuals' views really were important to him. "It would have affected him severely," she said, "particularly when this was not true". Kai was detained at his residence, but no evidence was discovered. He was transported to a police station and later freed pending further inquiry. Police said they would be in touch, the inquest heard, but had not reached out to the family by the time of his death. Withdrawal and Anxiety His mother said her son "became isolated" after the detention and "repeatedly inquired me whether I had heard anything from the authorities", because his ADHD meant sometimes "a minute could seem like days". When she spoke to him about the supposed incident, she said her son informed her he had gone into the residence because the resident who resided there had said he could use the bathroom anytime he needed, but denied taking anything. Digital Bullying In a joint statement between her and her husband, Mrs Lloyd said her son was being bullied online after the accusations. The inquest learned that a 19-year-old urged the teenager to kill himself. She had no worries on the evening before he died, explaining how she had heard him "chuckling and teasing". She described him as a "caring, loving" young man, and said her "family is totally shattered". He had been "clearly hiding his concerns", she said, noting that he could not stand to have anyone "have negative thoughts of him". Educational Reaction The hearing heard from school personnel at Connah's Quay secondary school. On 8 November, she "overheard some boys talking that Kai had been arrested and that was the initial I heard". "He informed me... he'd was innocent," she continued. After the conversation, the educator said she called Kai's parents' telephone and provided a voicemail saying she had spoken to Kai about the allegations. The court heard his parents said they never got that communication. Official Conclusion Lead investigator told the hearing he would wait for reports regarding what enhancements had been made to dealing with individuals with ADHD, before deciding whether he should make a prevention of future fatalities report. Providing a narrative conclusion, he stated: "Around November 8th, 2021, unsupported allegations were made against the teenager, a 14-year-old child. "Probably falsehoods were subsequently exaggerated and exaggerated through the medium of online networks. "On November 11th, he was interviewed by the authorities and after his interview he was freed while inquiries proceeded." The official concluded: "Exists no evidence that the acts or omissions of any organization caused or contributed to his death and although it was the result of a self-inflicted action it is not possible to determine his intent."
