Re: More devastating news


Oh heavens. That must be every parents' worst nightmare; No parent should have to bury their child There are no words of condolence that can offer any consolation to those affected when something so tragic happens.

Re: More devastating news


Thank-you all, I just can't get Mandy, Matthews, mum out of my mind. I rang her this evening, but she is just too distressed to talk, understandably. A pm has been done, but inconclusive, so more tests will have to be carried out.

Re: More devastating news


What terrible news and what a trauma for his mum. My thoughts are with you and your friend & her family. I have two God children, but can only barely imagine how devastated this family must be. As a doctor working with children I have attended many child funerals and every one is as distressing as all the ones before.

Re: More devastating news


Just an update on this, the microbiology tests showed that Matt died from a viral infection, apparently, while he was asleep his lungs filled with blood and he simply stopped breathing.

I am going to his funeral on friday and then to his memorial service on Sunday.

This is an article in the local paper.

Re: More devastating news


I can't find the right words to put here Kim. A terrible tragedy. I hope that all his family and friends can be strong enough to give him a fitting memorial.
