i have heard via a few different contacts that there is police and ambulance all around birkenhead park also been told police helicopter is out any one got any ideas ??? i have heard a few rumors but dont want to say until its been confirmed
Fire engine went in lower park with its blues on. Police car didn't seem so sure and drove on round.
Was riding my bike through the Park on the way to the girlfriends an seen police fire engines just over the road from the rugby club , had all the hill cordened off by the trees , was told what had happened but I don't think I need to say what , sad times on the Wirral at the min
well must be the same as iv heard then this place has become a sad place to live in there has been so much tragedy and trouble over the past few weeks to last a life time
Bloody hell, not more grief for some poor soul. I got my 3 kids, 4 now, out of Birkenhead in 1976, not something I wanted to do but circumstances etc. glad I did now, they're all doing ok and think B'head is a bit like Tombstone.
Yer some crazy stuff goin on round Birkenhead at the min , you only have to look at some one the wrong way and there kickin off for nothin , too meny people (kids) that want to make a name for them selfs , the place is turning in to some were you don't go out after dark
Makes you think twice about bringing a kid in to the world , I know when my little girl is born in 3 months I will have a massive knife under my bed and I will be sleeping with one eye open because that's the way things are goin round here , the police are run of there feet at the min
So, what's meant to have happened in Birkenhead Park now? Most probably a gang of kids just hanging out.
Sorry, meant to say that I find B'head like Tombstone. I don't even tell them what's going on they'd be sick with worry, for their mam not me.
So HAS anything happened or is this just another rumour thread?
No it's not a rumour , read up
Ayeeee. I'm hearing someone has committed suicide.
Bad times.
Hear say = rumours
The way the OP didn't tell what had happened just made the tension unbearable.

'Strange fruit' hanging on park tree!
Allegedly.
Tactless remark.
A well liked young man could see no better way out than to take his own life. Condolences to his family, especially his twin brother who will be lost without him...I hope he has found some peace.
RIP
so sorry for the family, although previous poster tackless remark it was posted well before the fact were know!
The poster obviously knew someone had been found hanging in the park to make the remark about "strange fruit hanging in the park" regardless of the facts it was still tactless.
Waiting for a link from an official source....
A group has now been set up for him by his friends on facebook. It appears he was well loved. Such a sad loss

Could someone post a link to the group please? I can't find it.
There will always be differing opinions about suicide but the main point is another young life has ended. Such a sad loss, thoughts go out to family and friends. Hope he has found peace
I don't think anything was personal....nobody was to know this poor lad was related to someone on this board, the comment was perhaps tasteless but not personal. I find it hard to reconcile one so young being so desperate but only he will know his reasons. God bless.
The 'strange fruit' comment was disgusting how ever you look at it.

The 'strange fruit' comment was disgusting how ever you look at it.
Was it? You sure? You actually know the origins of the phrase?
The phrase was coined in the 1930's America to cover the shameful, criminal waste of human life left hanging from trees in the south of the country.
If you don't think the loss of this young lads life was a shameful waste of a young life then maybe it was a 'disgusting', 'tactless', 'tasteless, comment, I obviously think otherwise!
The phrase was actually coined to describe the lynching of blacks in the Southern States. It was a tasteless phrase to use under the circumstances and to try to justify it now by comparing this tragedy with the atrocities back then in The States is equally tasteless.
I don't believe you meant any harm but 95% of people don't know the meaning of that phrase and you must have known that when posting it. Bit of sensitivity please

Ah, my apologies, didn't realise it was tasteless to describe the waste of white lives, I assume he was white, in trees, no matter how they get there, but perfectly OK to describe blacks left in a similar position, in such a way.
The same "comedians" all the time.
Condolensces to the family and those who knew him.

Yes, profoundly tasteless and no amount of your contorted logic will make it any better.
Ah maybe I wad wrong and you did mean harm.
people seem to be straying away from the main reason for this link,and yes some comments are uncalled for.... R.I.P.
Carnt believe it
Another good lad
This is all getting out of hand
R.i.p dude
