AN orphaned schoolboy screamed "why does everyone I love have to die?" when he learned his mum had passed away three years after his dad.
Bailey Oliver, 14, begged his cousin Genna for answers following the tragic loss of Carol, 47, after a five-month battle with pneumonia.
The teen received the awful news on Good Friday, three years after Carol's partner Steve Loughrey lost his life to septicaemia.
Bailey, who has autism, is now being cared for by his brother Ethan, 18, who has quit college to be with him full-time.
Genna, 32, who is the boys' only remaining relative along with their auntie, said they were devastated.
She told MEN: "When I told Bailey, he was screaming. It was the worst thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.

"He said, ‘Why does everyone I love have to die? She was so young, who’s going to care for me now? Who’s going to pay for the house?’
"Ethan was lost for words. He’s traumatised."
Carol fell ill in November last year before being rushed to hospital for urgent pneumonia treatment.
Despite being discharged with antibiotics, the mum-of-two was taken back into ICU days later, and sadly she never returned home.

Ethan and Bailey regularly FaceTimed their "beautiful" mum in hospital, but both only saw her once in the days before her death.
The teenagers, from Eccles, Greater Manchester, now have no source of income so Genna has set up a fundraising page to help towards "living costs and the future".
She is also fighting to keep them in their council-owned property as it's the only home they've ever known.
Genna said: "Bailey's routine is exactly the same all day and he doesn't eat a lot of food, but Ethan knows him inside out.
"If he was taken into care, they wouldn't know how to care for him.
