In Newcastle, on October 16, emergency services received a notification that there had been an explosion.
Sadly, Archie York, who was just seven years old, passed away as a result of the unfortunate event. After some time had passed, a second body, which was thought to be that of a man aged thirty, was discovered beneath the wreckage of the three houses that had been demolished on Violet Close in Benwell.
A total of six other individuals have been brought to the hospital, and it is thought that there are no individuals who did not make it. All of the remaining residents have been staying with their friends and family members all along.
Superintendent Darren Adams made the following statement from the scene: “It is with great sadness that I stand in front of you today following the tragic death of a young child.” The tragic death of a young kid, aged seven, has occurred as a direct consequence of the incident that occurred in the early hours of this morning.
Tragically, he passed away at the scene of the accident, despite the efforts of the rescue services there.
It is a genuinely tragic outcome that has occurred.
“There is no question in my mind that the residents of Elswick and Benwell, as well as those in our wider region, will want to join me in expressing their thoughts and sympathies to the grieving family and friends of the deceased. I cannot even begin to fathom the sorrow and anguish that they must be experiencing.
Memorials are being paid by the family of the young boy, who was seven years old when he passed away. They have described him as “a lovely lad.”
Archie was my nephew, and he was the most adorable, hilarious, and kind little child. His name deservingly deserves to be yelled from the rooftops! “We all love you so much, little man, and you didn’t deserve this,” his aunt Abbie York said, adding that the entire family is “devastated and heartbroken beyond words.” “We all love you so much, little man.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the two individuals who have had their lives taken from them.
