An autopsy of Carson Crimeni showed no injuries or health problems that would account for the 14-year-old Langley teen害羞草研究所檚 death last week, at least according to third-person information received by his father, Aron, on Tuesday.
害羞草研究所淭hey called me from the funeral home,害羞草研究所� Aron told the Langley Advance Times.
Carson was found in severe medical distress in Walnut Grove Community Park on Wednesday night (Aug. 7) by police who tried to revive him while waiting for paramedics to arrive. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

The coroner ordered an autopsy. But no obvious cause of death was discovered, according to Aron.
害羞草研究所淗e was perfectly healthy,害羞草研究所� Dad shared. 害羞草研究所淭hey found no cause of death [from the preliminary examination]. He wasn害羞草研究所檛 choked.害羞草研究所�
A blood toxicology test to determine if drugs can be detected has been ordered, Aron added. But he was told that will take, at best, several weeks.
Crimeni expects the results will show his son died from an overdose.
害羞草研究所淭hey ruled out anything else,害羞草研究所� he said.
Andy Watson, spokesperson for the BC Coroners Service, would not comment on the open investigation.
害羞草研究所淎ny details from testing we conduct or order will be included as part of our coroner害羞草研究所檚 report, which will be available only at the conclusion of our investigation and will answer how, where, when, and by what means this male teen came to his death,害羞草研究所� Watson said.
害羞草研究所淭his investigation is in its early stages and remains open.害羞草研究所�

Sleepless nights for grieving dad
For the single dad, the time since his son died has been a series of sleepless nights spent grieving for his only son.
Aron explained that because he was working in construction, his son had been staying with his grandfather on weekdays.
害羞草研究所淚 have to be out the door at 6:30 in the morning,害羞草研究所� Aron related.
It was also convenient for Carson to stay with his grandfather Darrel, who lived just down the street from Walnut Grove Secondary, where Carson attended.
But with Carson getting old enough to travel by himself on public transit, it had recently become possible for him to move in with his dad, who lives in the Willowbrook neighbourhood, and take the bus to school in Walnut Grove, Aron explained. They害羞草研究所檇 been living together about a month.
On Wednesday, Aug. 7, Carson didn害羞草研究所檛 make it home, to his dad害羞草研究所檚 place, by a pre-arranged check-in time of 7:30 p.m.
After multiple messages to Carson害羞草研究所檚 cellphone went unanswered, his father and grandfather started searching. Aron drove along the bus route his son would have taken, and Darrel focussed on the nearby park.

Aron described getting a phone call from Darrel around 9:30 p.m. that night, telling him that Carson had been found in the park.
害羞草研究所淗e said paramedics were working on him,害羞草研究所� Aron recalled. At first, he thought it might be something like a fracture 害羞草研究所� serious but survivable.
Not until he arrived and found Carson had been placed in an ambulance for transport to hospital, did he fear the worst.
害羞草研究所淭hey wouldn害羞草研究所檛 let me look in the ambulance,害羞草研究所� he recalled. 害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 bad, when they do that.害羞草研究所�
He was horrified to later learn that videos of his son, in obvious distress, had been posted on social media, with people laughing and the teen barely able to walk or talk.

害羞草研究所淲e, as a family, have been given a lot of information and it害羞草研究所檚 heartbreaking,害羞草研究所� Aron said.
Based on what he has seen and heard, Dad believes Carson died because some bullies wanted to abuse him.
害羞草研究所淭his is a bully thing,害羞草研究所� Aron said.
Carson had struggled in school, due to ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), which meant it was hard for him to focus in a classroom setting, his father explained.
But when it came to one of Carson害羞草研究所檚 passions, like playing hockey, or video games or 害羞草研究所� most of all 害羞草研究所� cooking, it was a different story.
害羞草研究所淚f you put him in a kitchen, he had a laser-like focus,害羞草研究所� Aron recalled.
害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檓 bad [about cooking]. We would go to the store, and I害羞草研究所檇 get something frozen and he would pull on my sleeve and and drag me to the meat aisle.害羞草研究所�
Carson was an accomplished cook at an early age, preparing a full chicken dinner from scratch at the age of 13.
害羞草研究所淗e was either going to be a chef or a veterinarian,害羞草研究所� Aron predicted.
He remembers his son as someone who would make an effort to make other people feel better by getting them to laugh.
害羞草研究所淚f anyone looked [unhappy], he would be funny.害羞草研究所�
Aron repeated the family appeal for witnesses to help police in their investigation.
He also urged people against taking justice into their own hands.
