UPDATE from Zane's mummy and daddy - 17 Weeks

Update: Thank you and keep commenting and supporting. So far we have confirmation from 4 Agencies that Hydrogen Cyanide was in the house the night Zane died and that there was never any carbon monoxide.  However these Agencies are doing their utmost to not tell the public or investigate properly, leaving local people at risk. The agency perspective is the avoidance of national hysteria over the possible risk posed by contaminated sites.  Our personal investigations have revealed the field and lake 6m away that look so idyllic is actually contaminated but this did not show in environmental searches.  In short it appears the agencies to protect us believe the truth will do more harm than good. To them Zane seems to be considered collateral damage. If you find this unacceptable and would not accept this cover up if it were your child this happened to, then please get involved and help us get justice for Zane. Our beautiful Zane should be here enjoying his life playing with mummy and daddy and friends.

There is an act called the Environmental Protection Act, it is clear what government department is responsible. We can not fight this alone, help us to get the truth by keeping up the pressure. Places that you and your friends can comment are http://bit.ly/1kzqV0m these sites monitor responses, the greater the responses the more the news papers will support the cause. For those that are construction minded a great link for comment is bit.ly/1oW83ZN and for those that would like to know more see www.truthaboutzane.com 

again we would be pleased if you could leave comments on getsurrey or here.

Thank you,  Kye and Nicole xx

It is very clear that the threshold for a thorough investigation has been met and that Surrey Council and/or the Government
( Environment Agency) are duty bound to  conduct one.
The true cause of Zane's death should not be covered up. The Council and the Government owe it to Zane, his parents and everyone to  reveal the true cause of  his death.  There can be no justification for hiding the truth. Hiding the truth   is wrong,   and certainly  is no justifiable way to protect those  who have suffered a great loss and pain. However  uncovering the truth will at least provide answers and relief to ease their  pain. It is also in the public's interest to ascertain the true cause of Zane's death.

There was a tragedy on the 8th of February in the midst of the Chertsey floods.Zane, a young boy so full of life and promise, died. Kye, his father is still very ill, cannot walk far and cannot stand for very long. Most of his moving about is done in a wheelchair. Zane’s mother, Nicole, was also affected, though mercifully less severely. Their grief and suffering has been made much worse by the wall of silence surrounding the events of that day, built by those who should be offering humane help and support. Instead they act in a most insensitive manner and somebody seems to be under orders to keep things quiet.
We know what happened from the professionals who were present on the dreadful day and from the medical profession but the Surrey Police claim not to know this. We don’t know quite why it happened and Surrey Police claim not to know this either and definitely don’t want to tell us. They are supposed to be grown up and speak for themselves but somebody in authority is frightened and under pressure to keep quiet. Who’s pulling their strings?
By their silence those in charge of Surrey Police have let down their own Police Force and have painted a very poor picture of policing in the United Kingdom.
Worse still, they have let down the “ordinary coppers on the beat” who so often give us that same humane help and support when we have difficulties. They should be setting them a professional example not training them to sow seeds of confusion and invite speculation.
As a result of their silence, speculation is rife in the community, tales that would be a credit to the brothers Grimm are circulating freely and all because they have failed to release the Truth About Zane. 
Surrey Police are discredited as a competent body. Nobody will now believe anything they say. If they issued a statement saying that it was raining we would all have to go outside and have a look…Could do better. Tell us the Truth About Zane.

What ever happened to promoting 'the three  pillars of sustainable development'?
This stinking cover-up by no good local and national authorities and govt bodies is scandalous! What kind of country are we living-in where the death of a 7 year old child goes unanswered for almost 4+ months?!
The authorities need to realise that their 'wall of silence' is shambolic and those of us with enough common sense can see right through it.
These two-faced authorities need to come clean so lessons can be learnt, and most importantly, much needed and overdue action can be taken to deal with contaminated land immediately...and then lock them all up (those persons within the authorities trying to cover this all up) and throw away the key.

Why why why have Nicole and Kye not had answers. It is bad enough that they are in so much pain over the loss of Zane and they don't know why. It is disgraceful and unacceptable that someone at the Environmental Agency knows about the landfill site and has not provided answers as to why contamination wasn't revealed by the environmental search when Nicole and Kye bought the house back in 2004. When was it put on the records, what changed to cause a neighbours search and a recent search to show contamination, why weren't they told of the change. They need answers as to what happened. This should never have happened. Someone needs to hold their hands up, not tomorrow, not next week or another 17 weeks time NOW.
Nicole and Kye you have my full support.

Suella Ritchie  3:52 PM on 25/5/2014
The authorities, council and anyone else involved in this cover up should hang their heads in shame. No one should loose
their life through negligence but to then try have this covered up by the 'criminals' is totally unacceptable. Kye & Nicole will not stop, neither will the strong force of family & friends behind them. Zane's life is too precious to us all, we will fight for justice and prevention of lives being lost in the future!

Paul Marsden  1:16 PM on 25/5/2014
The CEO,s Of Surrey County Council and Spelthorne BC David McNulty and Roberto Tambini should realise whilst their officials make contradictory claims over contaminated land, a Beautiful, Talented, Fun and Fit 7 year old has lost his
life.
Are you executives going to ignore this ?. Provide the data and the monitoring to the community and Family.

Laurence Gamlen  12:50 PM on 25/5/2014
Having seen a copy of the environmental search for Thameside that clearly demonstrates the land is designated
contaminated, I find it hard to accept Surrey County Council's 'head in the sand' attitude saying that there is nothing to be concerned about. If that is the case, please provide the evidence. In the meantime SCC have joined with the Police in saying very little. This incident happened in early February, we are now at the end of May and many important questions are still left unanswered. 
Time for answers and enquiries, please so that this tragic event can't happen again.

Liz Gamlen  12:28 PM on 25/5/2014

Its time for those 'in the know' to show compassion to a heartbroken family. The truth about Zane is within your gift.........please exercise your responsibilities with humility and kindness.

Zane's house is empty with a danger sign across the door, flowers are still being left for him. Kye and Nicole are on the most dfficult journey, one that we cannot even image. The truth about what happened to Zane and has made Kye so ill must be released. This wall of silence is imply unacceptable. We must all help Nicole and Kye find the truth.

Liam Cullen  11:09 AM on 25/5/2014
It is unbelievable that any parents should have to fight this hard just to find out the cause of death for their child. The amount of anguish and suffering they are being put through by the local authorities is despicable and the very least they deserve is to know what led to the loss of their son and an open and full explanation as to why it has taken this long for them to be told.

Isobel Treasure  2:26 AM on 25/5/2014
It is about time we found out the truth about what happened. You are not telling me that in this day and age we can't
find out answers, not only for Kye and Nicole but the rest of the community who are still in shock at the loss of a lovely, healthy, happy little boy. Every day I look at my 3 children and wonder....
Thinking of you Kye and Nicole everyday and Zane, who will never be forgotten

Shaun Fothergill  8:17 AM on 24/5/2014
It beggars belief that Nicole & Kye are still waiting for answers. What can possibly be taking this long? Plus who will be the next child or adult to be affected or even killed by Hydrogen Cyanide on this clearly contaminated land? Where is the contamination coming from, how far does it spread and what can we do to protect our community and loved one?

Claire Cookson Nee Cullen  7:28 AM on 24/5/2014
We must all support Nicole and Kye, they deserve to be told the truth! This couple have been forced to face the most
tragic situation parents could possibly face, to not be given answers just compounds their grief further. If this has happened to their family there is no reason why it wont happen to others. We just can't allow this to happen. 
Nicole and Kye are wonderful, caring, compassionate people always giving to others, it is now our time to support them to find the Truth About Zane. Our love and thoughts are with them both.
 
Paul Marsden 11:52 PM on 24/5/2014
Why is it a family has to go through this torment just to find out the truth!!! 17 weeks and still no answer to the cause
of young Zane's passing, 17 weeks and still and Kye is still unable to walk. Truth About Zane will Not Go Away a grieving family needs answers, To the agencies and government bodies, YOU NEED TO STAND UP AND STEP FORWARD WITH THE TRUTH !!!

Vicky Radburn  9:40 PM on 24/5/2014
How can this be aloud to go on , kye and Nicole should have had answers weeks ago. A loss of such a beautiful boy and why is there not a panic to find out why. This is putting more people at risk. 
Lots of love to kye and Nicole, zane is always in our hearts.

April-Louise Pennant  8:43 PM on 24/5/2014 
And after all of this time, there are still no answers about the tragic loss of my little cousin's life.It is crazy that his parents are still suffering and been kept in the dark!Something needs to be done.We will never give up.

Lydia Gamlen  7:11PM on 24/5/2014
It is so wrong that Kye and Nicole have had to keep pushing forward, at an unbearably painful and difficult time, to try and
obtain the TRUTH about what happened to their precious son. How can this happen in England in 2014? How can anybody be certain that this won't happen again?
When will Zane's parents be able to move home?
And why are the investigative agencies charged with protecting us WITHHOLDING information that is not only needed by Zane's parents, but by the general public?
All of our children are at risk when one healthy boy dies with supposedly no answer, this cannot happen again.

Ralph Evans  5:24 PM on 24/5/2014

I cannot believe that in England today this is allowed to happen. A wonderful child has lost his life and his father is paralysed. And 17 weeks later the family still has no answers about what caused this tragedy. We need to know who is responsible for this cover-up and make sure it will never happen again. We need to know that the people in charge of our safety are doing their jobs and not hiding the truth. Let Nicole and Kye and the public know the truth! We will continue this campaign till we get the answers - as long as it takes!

Evamaria Friedli  4:46 PM on 24/5/2014

After so many weeks Nicole and Kye still have no answers what caused their wonderful and lovely son's death and Kye's
illness. It makes me speechless. But we will not stay quiet. We want answers and, like Kye and Nicole, to make sure that this is not going to happen again.
If the agencies, that are trying to hide the truth, think we will give in if they let us wait and wait, they're wrong. The longer it
takes the louder we will become with our call for answers! We owe it to Zane and all the other children and families that might be affected to a later date by this cover-up.
Kye and Nicole have my full support - for as long as it takes to find the TruthAboutZane!!

Martin Elliott  3:46 PM on 24/5/2014
Why no mention of the Coroner's officers investigations for Zane's inquest ?

Zoe Blackmore Evans  3:34 PM on 24/5/2014
The loss of Zane has impacted everyone that knew him. Nothing will bring him back but the fact that the cause of death is
being covered up is disgusting. We all need justice for Zane. The truth will come out sooner or later and Nicole and Kye have my support. As a family we will fight for the truth!

Joanna Fernandes  3:09 PM on 24/5/2014
Such a tragic loss of a beautiful little boy. It is absolutely shocking that Nicole and Kye still have no answers and are having to fight so hard to reveal the truth. I urge everyone to show their support in the quest for the Truth About Zane.

Carol Bartlett  11:17 AM on 24/5/2014
17 agonising weeks and still no answers, my heart aches for Kye & Nicole. We will never tire in our search for finding
the truth. To the agencies who have failed in their duty to protect, a public inquiry is called for!!

Emma Natalie Dawn Hourican  12:32PM on 26/5/2014

So important for the family who have suffered a tragic loss to find out what happened! Thinking of the family at this difficult time and think we should definitely find out the truth about Zane!

Ileana Olympia Polycarpou
It's important for this family who have suffered such a tragic loss to be provided with some answers. Not only so that they can begin to understand what happened but also so as to make sure that others in the area and all over Britain are not at risk. My thoughts are with Kye and Nicole at this difficult time

Keith Beaumont-Martin  9:00 AM on 26/5/2014
It is absolutely shocking that after all this time, there is still no cause of death for Zane. The question is "WHY" have the authorities not considerable more, or even anything!! to help Nicole &Kye to find out the truth behind this horrific tragedy. The anguish and torment the family are being put through can not be put into words. We "ALL" need to support this cause #TruthaboutZane# TAZ. Answers are needed, this family cannot fight this alone!!
Thinking of you Kye and Nicole everyday and Zane, who will never be forgotten. xxx

Zane Gbangbola's family wait for answers over his death

14/5/2014

6 Comments

 
ITV News' Luke Hanrahan reports

The parents of Zane Gbangbola have spoken of their pain to ITV London as they continue to wait for answers over their son's death.

The seven-year-old died after suffering a heart attack at their home in Chertsey, Surrey during the floods in February.

His father Kye Gbangbola suffered a cardiac arrest and remains paralysed from the waist down.

"I'm broken literally. I don't know how to assemble any kind of focus on life and what it's about. It's something which is truly just unbearable for us," Mr Gbangbola said.

"No-one should experience going to bed laughing, joking as we always did in our house and wake up like this."

Police, unable to establish what happened to the family, have referred the case to the Home Office who have failed to provide any answers yet.

A Surrey Police statement said: "The investigation into Zane's death remains on-going. A post-mortem examination carried out on Tuesday 11th February did not establish a clear cause of death and we await the results of further tests which are expected to take a number of weeks.

"It would be wrong to speculate on the cause of death at this stage. Officers continue to provide updates to Zane's family. We fully appreciate this is difficult time as we wait for updates."

Legal action BEGINS AFTER DEATH OF 7-YEAR-OLD BOY FROM APPARENT CHEMICAL POISONING

1/5/2014

12 Comments

 
Picture
A Company Director who has been paralysed from apparent chemical poisoning, which also killed his son, has started legal action in a bid to find answers to what caused both him and his son to suffer cardiac arrests and to, in his own words, 'protect his neigbours'.
 
7-year-old Zane Gbangbola has been described in tributes as a truly wonderful boy.  Zane was our reason to exist say his parents, he was a kind, loving, funny child with a beautiful smile.  He was held in high regard by his school and has received fine tributes from his Headmaster and teachers across the school.
 
In the early hours of 8th February 2014, Kye Gbangbola, Zane, and Zane's mother Nicole Lawler, were all taken ill at home in Thameside, Surrey. 
 
An ambulance was called and all 3 were taken to hospital. Both Kye and Zane had suffered cardiac arrest. Zane died later in hospital, Kye remains paralysed from the waist down.
 
The incident occurred during the floods, which consumed the area earlier this year. Surrey Fire Brigade attended and found Hydrogen Cyanide.
 
Mr Gbangbola believes there needs to be a thorough investigation into the potential effects of recent disturbances to a piece of neighbouring land which has now been discovered was formerly a landfill site.
 
Lawyers for the couple are now investigating the possibility that the house had been affected by hydrogen cyanide, as found by the fire and rescue team that attended the incident.  Hydrogen cyanide is a colourless gas, which has in the past been linked to historic landfill sites. 
 
Mr Gbangbola's lawyer Vijay Ganapathy, from law firm Leigh Day, said:
 
"There seems to have been a rush to judgement that this was Carbon Monoxide poisoning.  There is a possibility that floodwater could have come through the contaminated land and into Mr Gbangbola's house.
 
"We understand that the presence of Hydrogen Cyanide necessitated the clearance of neighbouring properties and a public health warning for those in the area feeling unwell to seek urgent medical assistance.  
 
"If this is the case then many more people could be at risk and a full investigation of the ex landfill site needs to be undertaken as a priority"
 
Mr Gbangbola said:
 
"We have very real concerns for the welfare of our neighbours and the wider public in flood affected areas/regions as well as burning questions which come when you lose a child inexplicably.
 
“We are not looking for someone to blame; rather, we are looking to understand what happened and whether this could happen again.
 
“There can be no stone left unturned when dealing with such potentially fatal consequences."
 
Over 300 mourners including the Surrey Fire Brigade, who Mr Gbangbola thanked during the service for their honesty and support, attended Zane’s funeral service held on The 19th April.  
 
The Reverend Laurence Gamlen, of Holy Trinity Church in Lyne and Longcross said:
 
"But it was both hoped and expected that the agencies charged with carrying out this complex enquiry would do so with expediency, integrity and with due regard to the feelings of those most closely affected by this tragic event.
 
"It is a matter of concern that Kye and Nicole's grief is being compounded by the fact that the circumstances and the cause of Zane's death have still not been disclosed to them."
 
A website called Truth About Zane, www.TruthAboutZane.com has been set up to campaign for more information and answers about his death. 
 
Mr Gbangbola said: “We would like anyone with information to speak to Leigh Day in confidence, it is essential agencies that are meant to protect the public do the right thing.  Walls of silence and misinformation are unhelpful to finding the truth about Zane, and protecting those at risk. Do not allow a child’s death to be swept under the carpet.
