Loss

As I walked towards Newcastle rail station this morning I spotted these flyers everywhere posted I assume by friends, family and the police appealing for information about a missing teenager.

Sadly I have now learnt that a body found in the centre of Newcastle has been confirmed as that of missing County Durham teenager Kelvin Bradley featured in these flyers. The BBC website reported that "Kelvin's death is not being treated as suspicious. The coroner has been informed and an inquest will take place in due course."

Now as long as the flyers remain they will no longer be of hope but become a haunting reminder of a families sense of loss and grief until they are removed.
