A mom is grieving her teenage son after his tragic death in a farm machinery accident.
Harry Moss, 14, died on April 17 at Hillview Farm in Worcestershire, England, in an incident that involved farm machinery, the West Mercia Police said in a statement obtained by Metro.
The statement said police were notified of the incident around 9 a.m. local time, while a spokesperson from the West Midlands Ambulance Service told the outlet that they were contacted about 10 minutes prior.
The ambulance service sent “two ambulances, three paramedic officers, a BASICS emergency doctor and the Midlands Air Ambulances from Cosford and Strensham to the scene,” the spokesperson added.
Paramedics found Moss in critical condition and administered advanced life support, but he was declared deceased at the scene.
“A second male also sustained injuries, which are not thought to be life-threatening or life-changing and has been taken to hospital,” police told Metro.
Moss’ mom, Hollie Mcmurray, shared an emotional tribute to her son on Facebook: “My boy forever loved 💙 my first born 💔 my world has fallen apart! Fly high my homing pigeon 😭,” she wrote.
In a second post, the grieving mother called Moss a “farmer forever.”
“My first born forever in my heart 💙 harry u did me so proud but boy u was 14 working too hard!!!! 💔💔 Farmer forever I love you so much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,” she wrote.
Metro reported police are still investigating Moss’ death.
PEOPLE reached out to the West Mercia Police, West Midlands Ambulance Service and Health and Safety Executive for additional information on Sunday, April 20, but did not immediately hear back.
To support Moss’ family, family friend Maggie Murrihy started a GoFundMe, which has raised more than $17,000 as of April 20.
“As many of you know, Harry tragically passed away at just 14 years old,” Murrihy wrote on GoFundMe. “He was truly an amazing young man with his whole life ahead of him — the eldest sibling, a devoted son, and a loving big brother. Harry had a heart of gold and a passion for the simple things in life.”
Murrihy continued to share that the teenage boy loved farming and fishing.
“No parent should ever have to go through the pain of losing a child, and no words can ease that heartbreak,” Murrihy wrote. “While nothing can take away the grief, we’re hoping this fundraiser will help ease some of the financial strain.”
Murrihy specified that the money will go toward Moss’ funeral and to “support his family as they take time to grieve and begin to heal.”
Lewis Moss, the teen boy’s dad, told Daily Mail that his son aspired to work in farming. “All Harry ever wanted to be was a farmer. He loved everything about the countryside and everything about farming,” he said.
