Ignoring Social Distancing :-(

I note this 17 year old is the father of 3 children. 150 attendees at a funeral?

Tragic outcome.

Do you mean this 17 year old 'dead' father of 3 children TTT? A young life lost and you see fit to point out that at 17 year old, he has fathered 3 children.

[retrocop]

Why is TTT mentioned. I originated the post. I just believe a young man died and left three children under tragic circumstances. I doubt the children have much prospects awaiting them.

How awful. Condolences to his family and 3 babies who will never know their father.



Not sure about the 150 people at a funeral though. I thought the limit was 10 immediate family members??

[retrocop]

It appears the young man was wrongly reported dead at the scene. Kent police say he is still hanging on but in a critical condition with serious head injuries.

[retrocop]

I think they were bikers predominantly.

[Mamyalynne]

Hope he makes it.

[tiggerblue10]

Ooops! My bad..

I thought he had died. Apologies.....hope he makes it!

[retrocop]

As usual a case of damned if you do or damned if you don't for Kent Police.

Confirmed.
The Three Lakes Gypsy camp is at Church Road, Murston, Sittingbourne, Kent.

Tut tut, those naughty gypsies.

My apologies to TTT. My condemnation to you, then, Retro. According to all the reports I've read, he did die and a 'Go Fund Me' page has been set up for his family. Another 17 year old was also injured in the incident and he is the one in hospital.

[Mamyalynne]

Donations for Aaron's Go Fund Me page have been suspended for now.

[Ken4155]

It would appear then, mamy, that some newspapers may have written him off a tad prematurely. Hope they are wrong and that he pulls through.

[retrocop]

Thanks Ken for your condemnation. Just shows you can't always get it right first time ,or in your case the second as well. pfft

Yes. As I had already corrected at 1419!!

The point remains RC, why bring up that he had three kids, as if that is a for he should be beaten with? He was also married, presumably to the kids' mother.

Three orphaned children and a widowed bride makes this even more tragic. Also, two men have been nicked for dangerous driving, so it seems likely the bikers were not at fault.this

The whole thing sounds like a terrible tragedy to me.
