Luke Searle was 17
A teenage boy who died in an incident at a farm in Plympton last week has been named as 17-year-old Luke Searle.
He had suffered serious injuries whilst working at Sherwell Farm in the Plympton area of Plymouth last Wednesday.
The fire service, police, plus air and land ambulances all attended the scene, but tragically the boy died at the scene.
Luke was local to the area. His family have asked for privacy whilst they come to terms with their loss.
Because of his age, the circumstances surrounding this death will be the subject of a joint investigation between the police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
