Ayra Lebeau reportedly fell from the third-storey window a flat sparking a major emergency response. She had been staying with her friends at a flat in Southbridge, about 60 miles west of Boston in the US.
As the Mirror reports, an argument is understood to have erupted on Saturday morning between Ayra and a pal over a pizza slice. Police have now launched a probe into her death in what they have called an “unattended death”. The Chief Medical Examiner is now awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
Dimas Cabrera, who claimed she was Arya’s grandmother, made shock claims that the argument led to Ayra being kicked out of a window at some point.
Ayra’s devastated mother, told NBC News: “I dropped her off for her sleepover, and I just feel like I’m waiting for her to come home. She was so hopeful for the future, and this summer she was really looking forward to many activities with her friends.”
Arya was rushed to a hospital for emergency treatment. Despite the best efforts of doctors at the scene, she died as a result of her injuries early on Saturday morning.
“Initial reports suggest that the juvenile fell from a third-story window on Friday evening and was later pronounced dead at UMass Memorial Medical Center – University Campus in Worcester,” the SPD said in a statement shared to Facebook on Tuesday. “The Office of the Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner has accepted the case and an autopsy is pending.
Arya’s family has been left devastated following her death. Police have since opened an investigation to the circumstances around the young girl’s shocking death.
“The matter remains under investigation by Detectives with the Southbridge Police Department and Detectives assigned to the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office. No further information will be released at this time.”
A GoFundMe campaign, which can be seen here, was launched following Arya’s death, with funds going toward the family. Family members said funds would go toward giving Arya a proper send off.
Charlene Cabrera, Arya’s mother said in the GoFundMe page: “I cannot express the amount of grief I feel at the loss of my only baby. I have no words, but would like to thank every single person, parent and child for reaching out and for your loving support.”
As of Wednesday evening, the campaign has raised an estimated $16,240 (£12,049) out of a $20,000 (£14,839) target. Family members also shared numerous photos of Arya in the campaign.
