Summary
Tragedy struck the Quincy High community as 18-year-old graduate Kayron Costa drowned while swimming with friends at Houghton’s Pond last Saturday. Despite a massive search effort involving state police divers, he was pulled from the water and rushed to a Boston hospital — but tragically, he did not survive. The school’s principal praised Kayron as an “awesome student” and “man of great character,” noting he’d received an award for his effort and often spoke of how much Quincy High meant to him. In the wake of this devastating loss, the school is offering crisis support for students and recent grads, and the principal has called on the community to come together to honor Kayron’s life. Our hearts go out to his family and friends during this unimaginably painful time. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
