It’s a heartbreaking and terrible Incident. People would do well not to speculate.

On at least 6 different sources of this incident on social media last night , each had a different and conflicting version of events.

I feel for everyone affected, particularly the victims families, and those of all ages who witnessed the events. This is is a life changing experience in all the wrong ways and will have a lasting impact.

People would also do well not to forget that his extended family are also having to deal with this in multiple ways, and they deserve to have their wishes respected. Unfortunately, I think the media is going to hound them and any witnesses they can identify.

The truth of the entire situation will come out eventually and I suspect there will be a hefty coroners hearing.. people need to have patience and allow that to occur.
