Odd wording to say boy died, however mother was killed when they met the same fate.

It really winds me up when they do that too much in articles. They’ll start throwing in phrases like “the singer” after they have used their name once and then “entertainer” and then “Mancunian” if they’re from Manchester and then it gets ridiculous with something like “the crooner”.
