🔗 Share this article Adolescent Discovered Deceased Following Untrue Accusations of Stealing Cremated Remains Relative's Picture Kai Lloyd's parents found his remains in his bedroom in late 2021 One teenage youth was discovered deceased just days after being wrongly blamed of taking the ashes of a dead baby during a break-in, an inquest has heard. Tragic Finding The young boy's mother and father discovered his body in his room at his Connah's Quay residence on 19 November 2021. Untrue Accusations Start The investigation heard how his mother received a communication on November 8th, 2021 via online platforms, from a woman inquiring if her son was her child. The message added: "Inform him thanks for burgling my apartment." In a statement read to the court, Lisa Lloyd said the individual had been in the news, asserting her baby's remains had been stolen in a burglary - a claim which was untrue. Police Inquiry An investigation report from police later concluded the supposed break-in complainant had "lied to police" and "evidence shows that said property was not taken in the first place". Media reports about the supposed stolen remains attracted social media comments, and although Kai was not named in the posts, his parent said people "understood it was him". The "social media content were really distressing", she stated. Emotional Health Impact She added that her son had been diagnosed with moderate ADHD, and as part of that condition, other peoples' opinions really were important to him. "This must have affected him severely," she said, "particularly when this was not true". Kai was arrested at his residence, but nothing was discovered. He was transported to a law enforcement facility and later freed under investigation. Police said they would be in contact, the hearing learned, but had failed to reached out to the relatives by the moment of his passing. Withdrawal and Worry His mother said her son "became isolated" after the arrest and "would keep asking me whether I had received anything from the authorities", because his ADHD meant sometimes "a minute could feel like days". When she spoke to him about the supposed burglary, she said her son told her he had gone into the residence because the woman who lived there had said he could utilize the bathroom whenever he wanted, but refuted removing anything. Digital Bullying In a joint statement between her and her spouse, the mother said her son was being bullied digitally after the accusations. The proceedings heard that one 19-year-old urged the teenager to kill himself. She had no worries on the evening before he passed away, explaining how she had heard him "laughing and teasing". She described him as a "caring, loving" boy, and said her "relatives is completely shattered". He had been "obviously concealing his worries", she said, noting that he could not stand to have anybody "have negative thoughts of him". Educational Response The hearing received testimony from school personnel at the local secondary school. On 8 November, she "heard some students talking that the student had been arrested and that was the initial I learned". "He informed me... he'd was innocent," she continued. After the discussion, the educator said she called Kai's family landline and provided a message saying she had spoken to the student about the accusations. The proceedings learned his family said they did not receive that message. Official Finding Senior investigator informed the hearing he would await documents regarding what improvements had been made to handling suspects with the condition, before determining whether he should make a avoidance of subsequent deaths report. Providing a narrative finding, he said: "Around 8 November 2021, unsubstantiated allegations were made against the teenager, a young individual. "Probably untruths were afterwards embellished and exaggerated through the medium of social media. "On November 11th, he was interviewed by the authorities and after his interview he was freed whilst investigations proceeded." The coroner determined: "There is no evidence that the actions or failures of any organization led to or added to his death and although it was the result of a personal action it is impossible to determine his purpose."
