Concerns raised over teen in care as inquest into 17-year-old’s death is reviwed
Kye Francis Jones, who had been living in care for two years, died on February 26 this year.
At a pre-inquest review hearing at Norfolk Coroner’s Court, area coroner Robin Weyell heard Kye had been placed at Sycamore House - a privately run home in Outwell providing care on behalf of Suffolk County Council.
The court was told the teenager, who was subject to a care order under Section 31 of the Children Act, had been living at the home for around two years before his death.
During the hearing, the coroner raised concerns about reports of cannabis and tobacco use within the home, although toxicology evidence suggested neither substance directly contributed to Kye’s death.
