A 9-year-old boy dies after being spotted walking around the street and a man has been arrested.
Yesterday evening, the peaceful atmosphere of Glenmore Road in Brixham was disrupted when the local authorities were contacted. The reason? A nine-year-old boy was seen walking around town with a man, appearing to be unwell. The situation quickly escalated, resulting in a tragic outcome.

Emergency services were immediately called to the scene in Brixham, a charming town located in Devon, just south of Torquay. The distressing news of the young boy's condition prompted a swift response, with the authorities arriving at 6:20 pm on Sunday evening. Despite receiving first aid, the boy was sadly pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.

As the investigation into the incident unfolds, a 47-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect. Detective Inspector Jen Rose of Devon and Cornwall Police is leading the case and has made a public appeal for information. She is urging anyone who may have been in the area between 5 pm and 7 pm to come forward with any relevant details. Specifically, she is looking to speak with those who were in Drew Street, Penn Lane, Castor Road, Greenswood Road, and Bolton Street. It is believed that there were witnesses present who may have interacted with the man and the child.
