A mum says she is ‘devastated’ after ‘heartless’ thieves stole her eldest son’s car with his younger brother’s ashes inside.
His older brother has since kept a photograph of him along with some of his ashes in his Volkswagen Golf GTD, which was stolen from nearby Wolvey in the early hours of February 16.‘My son carried some of Jamie’s ashes in the car with him and a photograph of Jamie is in the dashboard of the car, so they would have literally had to be looking at Jamie as they were stealing the car.
Popular Rugby College student Jamie Rees, 18, died four days after suffering a cardiac arrest in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2022 The car had some of Jamie’s ashes inside The OurJay Foundation, set up last year in memory of Jamie, has raised tens of thousands of pounds for more than 35 defibrillators and counting to be fitted in prominent locations across Rugby.
The charity, which has picked up from where the JustGiving page left off in the wake of the teenager’s sad passing, also raises awareness about the importance of having automated external defibrillators publicly accessible at all times. A lack of publicly accessible defibs in Rugby, and a long delay in critical care reaching Jamie after he collapsed while watching fireworks with friends, are believed to have given him little chance of survival.Anyone with information about the vehicle theft is asked to contact Warwickshire Police on 101. Information can also be passed to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
