Police are currently investigating the death of a 15-year-old boy who was allegedly drinking alcohol with some people in Laucala Beach yesterday.

According to police, the boy is from Wainunu, Bua.

Police say the matter came to light when the security officer at the CWM Hospital noticed a man conveying the boy’s body to the hospital.
