Second pupil at Dungannon school dies within days of Matthew McCallan - latest fatality named as Fabian Dabrowski Dos Santos

The latest fatality has been named as Fabian Dabrowski Dos Santos.

He was a year 11 student.

On Monday of this week, the same school revealed that Year 12 student Matthew McCallan had died.

He had been on a night out in Fintona’s Ecclesville Centre on Saturday.

He did not return home and his parents raised the alarm in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Police said his body was found in a ditch at about 11.45am on Monday, about two miles from the venue.

Now St Patrick's College in Dungannon has said of the latest death: “Sometimes words are just not enough.

“Fabian was such a lovely boy, gentle and caring.

"He was one of the kindest young people you would ever meet. Fabian thought of others before himself and he always made sure that others were ok – it was just his nature and this stood out about Fabian since he joined us in Year 8 – he took others under his wing and was such a good friend.

"Fabian enjoyed football and was a keen and competitive gamer and he loved to draw and refine his skill.

“He enjoyed working in groups to complete projects and tasks. He is pictured below at our recent Yr 11 Learning Together Wreath Making Workshop preparing their stall for the Christmas Fayre.

“To Fabian’s mummy, Step Father, two younger brothers and extended family, we extend our heart felt sympathies.

“Please keep his family, friends and school community in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.

“May Fabian’s gentle soul rest in eternal peace.”

The cause of his death remains unclear at this stage.
