12-year-old boy and grandfather found dead in tent during family camping trip

(Gray News) – A 12-year-old boy and his grandfather were found dead in a tent during a family camping trip in the United Kingdom, according to local reports.

BBC and The Telegraph UK identified the child as Kaicy Brown and his grandfather as David Brown.

The two were on a camping trip with their family in Powys, Wales. Another family member noticed them unresponsive in their tent on September 14th.

Their causes of death “need to be investigated in more detail,” the coroner told the BBC, but officials are currently testing whether carbon monoxide was a possible cause.

A GoFundMe page for the family also indicates that carbon monoxide poisoning is a likely cause of death.

A second GoFundMe page says the two “died of carbon monoxide poisoning on a camping trip.”

“Kaicy was a kind, thoughtful and emotional boy who lit up a room with his smile and good sense of humor. He was also an exceptionally talented artist and impressed us with his attention to detail and incredible dedication to his artwork,” the GoFundMe page reads.

The goal of the GoFundMe pages is to raise money for funeral costs.
