Kane’s Story

Kane was born in Consett on the 05/06/90. He entered this world weighing 4lb 6oz. He was a
beautiful baby & was loved by all. When he was growing up he was always thin, this used to worry me
but it was just the way he was.

Kane is the third son of Christina.

Kane has two older brothers Joel and Nick; he also has a younger brother Matthew and a little sister
Lynnette.

Kane did not have an easy life. He worried about his little brother as he has a severe heart
condition. He worried about anyone when they were ill or sad.

He had to work hard at things and was bullied when he was young.

Kane cared for people; he would make things for them & spend his money on others. He would buy
things for no reason other than to give or make some-one happy.

Kane loved Japanese cartoon art and was always drawing or painting. He was great at drawing
pictures of people. He loved to create things and would make things out of wood or anything else he
could find.

He would try to do anything I asked him whether it was fixing a light or plumbing a shower.
Although not everything he "fixed" worked again. He once spent hours fixing the kitchen heater & it
has never worked since. Another time he replaced all the door handles for me and one is at 45
degrees. He would always try though.

Kane could be very clumsy but it could be so funny. When he was young he was determined to climb
this tree and fell out of the same tree four times but he did it in the end. He once fell down the
stairs and got up and ran into the wall. I have many memories like this and cherish every one of
them.

Kane left this Earth on the 07/03/07. The day before his death he was upset about an email he had
from his ex girlfriend but we talked and he was fine. The day of his death he was going to see
about an apprenticeship he had applied for. He had no money left so I gave him a few pounds & my
last words to him were " I'm not that bad am I?", he smiled his cheeky smile & replied " I’ve got
my keys". He left the house at lunch time. I had to go out & passed him 2 minutes from his
destination, which was the last time I saw my baby alive. When I returned home I had a bad feeling
so I tried to phone him, there was no answer so I kept trying. After a while I went looking for him
and at 10pm I phoned the police.

Two officers came to the house and after a while told me they had found the body of a young lad at
the bottom of the Gill Bridge. I was devastated and still am. They would not let me see him until
2pm the next day. I had to identify his body, his brother Nick was with me. I went in to shock and
never questioned things so when they said he had jumped I did not ask why.

At his funeral some-one told me Kane did not jump or fall. I was in a state & did not take it in.
Later those words came back and I started to question things. And if I could find the name of the
person that told me.

I phoned the police and two CID officers came. I was asked if I was sure I heard right?

Kane was found at the bottom of a 180ft bridge, he had no broken bones, and he had two marks on his
forehead, a bruised nose, a black eye, two bust lips & a bruised right ear. I was told he was found
in a shopping trolley.

Kane was found at 5pm on a bright day and had been there a couple of hours.

How come no-one saw him?

There were a lot of people at Kane's funeral and I did not know them all. Kane had no reason to
jump, he was starting the apprenticeship and wanted to start his own business, he had updated his
bebo the night before and the things he wrote were not the things some-one that was suicidal would
write.

He was also trying to trace his dad and had talked about how much he wanted children when he was
older. Kane had a lot of love to give and was loved. I do not believe my son took his own life and
never will.

If you knew Kane and would like to add pictures or stories about him to his site please do so.

I would like to thank everyone for the candles & tributes left for Kane. They help us so much;
reading the kind messages left here helps me get through each day. I am still fighting for justice
for Kane and will never give up.

Thank you for your support Christina xxx
