Tributes have poured in for 19-year-old Kevin Faries who died on Sunday.Police said an investigation into his death is underway and are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.Mr Faries was found dead outside a Rockland Crescent home in Warwick at 11.15am on January 9.He attended Paget Primary as well as Berkeley Institute before going to Bard College, at Simon's Rock, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.Yesterday friends and former teachers left messages on the Internet social networking site Facebook to remember the young man. Many also said they would pray for his twin brother Kurt.Keri Dior, who attended Berkeley with the twins, wrote: “Although the details remain unclear at this particular point in time the fact still remains that you are no longer on earth with me and for that I am going to forever love, miss and definitely honor you.“From the time we were in army together just up until last week we were a click. There was that spark in your eye that made me introduce myself to you and Kurt; you guys were so cool.“I'm just grateful we got to hang when you came back to Berkeley with us. Words cannot express how I feel...when I got the news I shattered. I am still in shock.”Many commented on his curly hair, and how he was often seen running his fingers through it during classes.Others mentioned that he could be “misunderstood” at times but was always “the life of the party” and “cool”.Two members of Bard College told The Royal Gazette he was well liked at the school, but were too upset when they heard the news to comment extensively.A Police spokesman said: “The investigation into this matter is ongoing and police are looking at all possible lines of inquiry. Pending an autopsy, no further comment can be made at this time.“Anyone who may have any information regarding the death of Kevin Faries is encouraged to contact Pc Donville Yarde on 295-0011.”
