## Resource

A sixteen-year-old boy died tragically from carbon monoxide poisoning in his Melvindale home, likely caused by a generator running in the basement while he was alone. Loved ones remember him as a bright, kind, and culturally proud teen who cherished his Yemeni heritage and shared his love of food with friends. His teachers and peers mourn the loss of a gentle soul who never got to experience the milestones of young adulthood. As authorities investigate, the community grieves the sudden passing of a young man whose warmth and respect touched everyone he met — a heartbreaking reminder of safety’s importance.
