Community Mourns a “Happy-Go-Lucky” Boy
Logan’s body was discovered in the river at around 5:45am BST and rushed to Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, where he was pronounced dead. Friends and neighbours described him as a cheerful child who loved Spider-Man and playing hide and seek.
“He just seemed really happy and a good boy,” said a classmate’s mother. “He was in my daughter’s class for two years. They would be starting big school this September.”
Neighbour Teresa Mason added, “The boy was really sweet. A happy-go-lucky child. We can’t get our heads around it. We usually see him running around here with other kids. Waking up Saturday to police outside the house was just shocking.”
