Desir was reported missing last week and was last seen at the Barking Crab in Boston. Desir, who suffered from mental health issues and did not have his medication at the time of his disappearance, graduated from Medford High School in 2019 and played football for the school team. An online fundraiser has been set up to support Desir’s family with the cost of his funeral, with organizers describing him as a light in their lives.
Authorities responded to a report of a person in the water near the Moakley Courthouse on Monday morning. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office confirmed Desir’s identity on Tuesday. Desir’s disappearance and tragic death have left the community in mourning, with friends and family remembering him fondly as a beloved individual. The fundraiser set up to assist his family in this difficult time is a testament to the impact Desir had on those around him.
The loss of Desir has highlighted the importance of mental health awareness and support, as well as the devastating consequences that can result from not having access to necessary medication. The community is coming together to remember Desir and support his family during this challenging time. The Boston Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding Desir’s death as the community mourns the loss of a young life.
