Four teenage boys who went missing after leaving for a camping trip have been found.
According to a statement shared by Police in Wales, all four bodies were discovered inside a vehicle that was found flipped upside down on the side of the road. The boys have been identified as Jevon Hirst, Harvey Owen, Wilf Fitchett, and Hugo Morris.
They were all between the ages of 16 and 18. “This appears to have been a tragic accident, and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the four young men at this very difficult time,” North Wales Police Superintendent Owain Llewellyn said in the statement.
“This has been an extensive search involving a number of different agencies and volunteers, and this is sadly not the outcome that any of us would have wanted. We would ask that the family be afforded the appropriate privacy and respect.”
As the BBC reports, a passerby was the first person to locate the flipped Ford Fiesta during the morning hours of November 21. The car was also reportedly partially submerged in water.
After news of their passing was made public, Harvey’s mother took to social media to share her first statement, The Guardian revealed. “I feel like I’m in a nightmare I wish I could wake up from but I’m not. I just wanted to say I do appreciate people’s kindness but no amount of messages is going to help me overcome this. Nothing will make this nightmare go away.”
Wilf’s girlfriend and her mom followed suit, writing, respectively:
“I’m going to miss you forever. The sweetest and most loving boy I’ve ever known. Thank you for loving me endlessly, I promise I’ll do the same for you. I can’t imagine my world without you.”
“Wilf was such a lovely kind lad and treated Maddi in a way only a mother could hope her daughter be treated. Maddi is heartbroken and we will all miss you dearly Wilf.”
This is a developing report.
