A notification of an explosion was received by emergency services on October 16th, which occurred in Newcastle.
Archie York, who was only seven years old at the time, passed away as a result of the shocking event. A second body, which was later discovered, was thought to be that of a man who was thirty years old. It was discovered beneath the debris of the three houses that had been demolished on Violet Close in Benwell.
In addition, six more individuals have been brought to the hospital, and it is thought that there are no individuals who are still missing here. Everyone else who lives there has been staying with their friends and family members.
Superintendent Darren Adams made the following statement from the scene: “It is with great sadness that I stand in front of you today subsequent to the tragic death of a young child.” A young kid, aged seven, has regrettably departed suddenly as a consequence of the incident that occurred in the early hours of this morning.
It is a sorrowful fact that he passed away at the site, despite the efforts of the rescue personnel.
“The outcome is absolutely devastating,” the speaker said.
The people of Elswick and Benwell, as well as those in our wider region, would, without a doubt, want to join me in expressing their thoughts and sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased. The kind of sorrow and agony that they must be going through is incomprehensible.
The family of the young boy, who was just seven years old when he passed away, is paying tribute to him and describing him as “a splendid young man.”
The name of my nephew, Archie, deserves to be yelled from the rooftops because he was the most adorable, hilarious, and compassionate young boy I have ever known. His aunt, Abbie York, expressed that the entire family is “devastated and heartbroken beyond words.” She went on to say that the entire family loves him so much and that he did not deserve this.
The families of the two people who passed away are in our thoughts and prayers at this hour.
