🔗 Share this article Adolescent Discovered Dead After False Allegations of Stealing Ashes Personal Snapshot Kai Lloyd's mother and father found his body in his bedroom in late 2021 A teenage youth was discovered deceased just days after being falsely blamed of taking the cremated remains of a deceased baby during a break-in, a coroner's inquiry has heard. Heartbreaking Finding Kai Lloyd's mother and father found his body in his room at his Connah's Quay residence on 19 November 2021. False Allegations Start The investigation learned how his parent received a communication on November 8th, 2021 via online platforms, from a individual asking if Kai was her offspring. The message stated: "Inform him appreciation for burgling my apartment." In a testimony presented to the court, the mother said the individual had been in the media, asserting her infant's ashes had been stolen in a break-in - a allegation which was false. Police Investigation An official inquiry from authorities later determined the alleged burglary complainant had "lied to police" and "it now appears that said property was never taken in the first place". News coverage about the alleged taken ashes attracted social media responses, and although Kai was not named in the messages, his mother said people "knew it was him". The "social media content were really upsetting", she stated. Emotional Health Impact She added that Kai had been identified with mild attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and as part of that disorder, other individuals' views genuinely mattered to him. "It would have hurt him deeply," she commented, "especially when this was not true". The teenager was arrested at home, but no evidence was found. He was transported to a police station and later freed pending further inquiry. Authorities said they would be in contact, the inquest heard, but had failed to contacted the relatives by the time of his passing. Isolation and Anxiety His parent said her son "became isolated" after the arrest and "would keep asking me whether I had heard anything from the authorities", because his condition meant sometimes "certain periods could seem like much longer". When she spoke to him about the alleged incident, she said her son told her he had gone into the house because the woman who lived there had said he could utilize the bathroom whenever he wanted, but refuted taking anything. Digital Harassment In a combined testimony between her and her husband, the mother said her son was being bullied online after the allegations. The proceedings heard that one 19-year-old urged Kai to kill himself. She had no worries on the night before he passed away, describing how she had heard him "laughing and teasing". She described him as a "caring, affectionate" young man, and said her "relatives is completely devastated". He had been "clearly hiding his worries", she stated, noting that he could not bear to have anybody "think bad of him". School Response The inquest received testimony from educational staff at Connah's Quay secondary school. On November 8th, she "overheard some boys talking that the student had been arrested and that was the initial I learned". "He informed me... he'd done nothing wrong," she continued. After the conversation, the educator said she rang the family's family landline and provided a message saying she had communicated to the student about the allegations. The proceedings learned his family said they did not got that communication. Formal Conclusion Senior coroner informed the inquest he would wait for documents regarding what improvements had been made to dealing with suspects with the condition, before deciding whether he should make a avoidance of subsequent deaths report. Delivering a narrative finding, he stated: "Around 8 November 2021, unsupported accusations were made against Kai Benjamin Lloyd, a 14-year-old individual. "Probably falsehoods were afterwards embellished and exaggerated through the medium of online networks. "During 11 November, he was interviewed by the police and after his questioning he was released while inquiries proceeded." The coroner determined: "Exists no proof that the acts or failures of any agency caused or contributed to his passing and although it was the result of a self-inflicted action it is impossible to discern his intent."
