In a heartbreaking incident, an 11-year-old boy was found dead at his family residence in Devon, Manchester, on Friday. The young victim, identified as Xavon Barnett (also spelled Zavon by some sources), was a student at Devon Primary School. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding his untimely demise. Preliminary reports indicate that the boy was left at home alone while his mother participated in cleanup efforts at Devon Primary School following the devastation caused by Category five Hurricane Melissa. Upon her return, the mother reportedly discovered her son missing and alerted the child’s father. Two hours later, while doing laundry, she tragically found his body in the back of an old storeroom. Police were immediately notified, and detectives are now awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination to ascertain the cause of death. The community is left in shock as they mourn the loss of the young boy.
