Girl, 12, plunges to her death after arguing with friend over pizza at sleepover
Arya Lebeau, 12, reportedly got into an argument with her friend over a slice of pizza before she plunged to her death from an apartment complex where she had been with pals A sleepover ended in tragedy when a 12-year-old girl fell to her death after arguing with a friend about a slice of pizza. Arya Lebeau had been staying with her friends at a flat in Southbridge, about 60 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts (MA), when an argument erupted between her and a pal over the pizza slice on Saturday morning. The Southbridge Police Department (SPD) and the Worchester County District Attorney's Office launched an investigation into the circumstances around what they called an "unattended death." The Chief Medical Examiner is awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Dimas Cabrera, who claimed she was Arya's grandmother, shared more details about the moments leading up to the girl's death. She claimed an argument over a slice of pizza led to an argument and that she was kicked out of a window at some point. Charlene Cabrera, Arya's mother, told NBC News: "I dropped her off for her sleepover, and I just feel like I'm waiting for her to come home. She was so hopeful for the future, and this summer she was really looking forward to many activities with her friends." Arya was rushed to a hospital for emergency treatment. Despite the best efforts of doctors at the scene, she died as a result of her injuries early on Saturday morning. "Initial reports suggest that the juvenile fell from a third-story window on Friday evening and was later pronounced dead at UMass Memorial Medical Center - University Campus in Worcester," the SPD said in a statement shared to Facebook on Tuesday. "The Office of the Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner has accepted the case and an autopsy is pending. Arya's family has been left devastated following her death. Police have since opened an investigation to the circumstances around the young girl's shocking death. "The matter remains under investigation by Detectives with the Southbridge Police Department and Detectives assigned to the Worcester County District Attorney's Office. No further information will be released at this time." A GoFundMe campaign, which can be seen here, was launched following Arya's death, with funds going toward the family. Family members said funds would go toward giving Arya a proper send off. Charlene Cabrera, Arya's mother said in the GoFundMe page: "I cannot express the amount of grief I feel at the loss of my only baby. I have no words, but would like to thank every single person, parent and child for reaching out and for your loving support." As of Wednesday evening, the campaign has raised an estimated $16,240 (£12,049) out of a $20,000 (£14,839) target. Family members also shared numerous photos of Arya in the campaign.
