I heard from my kids that some young lad died at the weekend, speculation is drugs OD or similar, and that may have been at Hartham - lots of speculation I know but he was a 'friend of a friend' of one of my kids. I'm sure the truth will come out eventually but from what I've heard its a terrible tragedy and I feel for the victim and the parents.
Edit: I should point out that I believe this was an accidental overdose.

I beleive this was a 16 year old( I know his name, but will not give it here.
He did indeed OD which is said to have resulted in fatal heart attack.
I am informed he was an only child
A tragic waste of a young life.

The shrine is looking pretty tatty now, dogs have wee'd on it, people have left drinks bottles and other rubbish on it, the flowers are rotting and the handwritten cards have got damp in the rain/dew. Most of the flowers are in plastic wrapping so can't be composted without someone facing the unpleasant job of removing the wrapping. I suppose it falls to the East Herts Council contractors who maintain Hartham to liaise with the young man's loved ones to eventually remove the tributes etc with appropriate sensitivity.
