A 14-year-old found dead in Holbeach on Saturday  “had a great future ahead of him” his father has said in a new statement.

Alex Buchan died after police and paramedics were called to a house in Fleet Street in the early hours of last Saturday morning.

Father Alexander Buchan released a new statement via Lincolnshire Police today (Thursday).

The statement said: “Alexander was a beautiful, kind and loving lad. He saw the good in everything and everyone – he never had a bad word to say about anyone.

“He was always happy and smiling and the perfect son to me and his mother Lisa, and a perfect brother to his sisters Robyn and Bethany.

“Through all his family and friends, everybody loved him.

“He had a great future ahead of him.

“Sadly he has been taken too soon.”

A 15-year-old girl and two 19-year-old men were arrested on suspicion of drug-related offences and have been released on bail.
