Family pay tribute and thank community after man's death in Kenilworth
45-year-old Carl Stephens was found dead at a home on Chestnut Avenue last month
The family of a man who died in Kenilworth say they will be "forever heartbroken" and have thanked the community for their support.
Emergency Services were called to a house in Chestnut Avenue just before midnight on Friday 20th March after concerns were raised about a man's welfare.
Carl Stephens, 45, was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a tribute his family said: "“We are deeply saddened to be writing that Carl’s life has been taken in the most tragic way. Our family is completely devastated by this and will be forever heartbroken.
“We would like to take a moment to sincerely thank our community for the love, compassion and support that has been shown to us, and sharing in our grief, it means more than words can express.
“During this incredibly difficult time, we kindly ask for privacy while we come to terms with what has happened.”
Three people have been charged with murder in connection with his death.
Lewis Dowling, 24, of Yarnfield Road, Birmingham, Patricia Dowling, 49, of Chestnut Avenue, Kenilworth and a 16-year-old boy from Kenilworth, who can’t be named for legal reasons, will next appear in court on 20 May 2026.
A 72-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on bail while enquiries continue.
