14-year-old Scottish schoolboy dies in tragic incident – mother pays tribute to her 'perfect' son and local community devastated

Heartbreaking condolences have been pouring in for a “perfect” Scottish schoolboy who died in a tragic accident.

Noah Grant, 14, died at his home on Saturday evening.

Police rushed to an address in Fallin, near Stirling, but the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene.

There appear to be no suspicious circumstances.

Noah's devastated mother Dawn Guthrie shared her grief in a post on Facebook.

She wrote: “We are more sad than ever in our lives to announce the passing of our beautiful, perfect boy Noah-Pie on August 24th.

“We have never felt such pain and want to wake up from this nightmare.

“Noah, our perfect boy, you left a void that no one will ever fill.

“It's always going to be the four of us against the world. You and Grandpa Guthrie are going to take a little ride in the car until Mom, Dad and Mason get here. See you soon, Piep.

“I love you until there are no stars above you, our darling.”

The Facebook page Fallin Community Voice spread the news of the tragic incident and appealed to villagers to donate to an online fundraiser.

Kind-hearted locals have raised more than £4,700 to support Noah's family.

They thanked the public for their support, adding: “I just want to say a huge thank you to the people of Fallin and everyone else for the support our family has received following the sudden death of our beloved boy Noah.”

“We are completely overwhelmed by the donations, flowers, comments and messages.

“Not a single comment or message has gone unnoticed. While nothing can ease the pain and heartache we feel, we are truly grateful for the support during this very dark time.”

Numerous citizens submitted comments to express their condolences to the family.

One wrote: “Sleep well, you were a beautiful boy.”

Another said: “Absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the family at this difficult time. Fly high young man.”

A third added: “I am absolutely devastated to hear of this tragedy. My thoughts are with all the family at this very sad time.”
