12-Year-Old Dies in Southbridge Window Fall

Authorities are investigating the death of 12-year-old Arya Lebeau, who fell from a third-story window during a sleepover at a friend's house in Southbridge, Massachusetts, while the friend's parents were not home. The incident occurred early Saturday morning. Arya's grandmother suggested the fall may have followed an argument or a game, and Arya's mother claimed her daughter was kicked before the fall, though details remain unconfirmed. The Worcester County District Attorney’s Office, Southbridge Police, and Massachusetts State Police are treating the case as an 'unattended death,' and the Office of the Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner will perform an autopsy. No charges have been filed, and the investigation is ongoing. The community has raised over $12,700 to assist with funeral expenses.
