After emergency personnel arrived, the fire was quickly put out. We then released a search for missing youngster Layton Carr last night; at the time, it was thought that he was in the vicinity.
Unfortunately, a corpse thought to be that of 14-year-old Layton Carr was found dead within the premises after searches conducted by
Northumbria Police and partners at Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, the police department said in a statement to The Times.
“Specialized officers have been notified and are currently providing support to his next of kin.”
Layton attended the Comprehensive School in Hebburn. David Thompson, the headteacher, posted a message of his passing on social media.
“The school community is devastated.” Everyone in Year 9 will miss Layton terribly, as he was a beloved and respected member,” Thompson stated.
