Autopsy for Brandon Crisp to be done Friday; police not ruling out foul play

BARRIE, Ont. ? Students at the high school of Brandon Crisp spoke to grief counsellors and left poignant tributes to the teen Thursday, a day after the discovery of a body believed to be the boy who went missing after a Thanksgiving Day argument with his parents.
Outside St. Joseph's High School, a flag flew at half-mast in honour of the 15-year-old Crisp, who vanished Oct. 13 after a dispute with his parents over his obsession with an Xbox video game.
Around the school, ribbons of yellow, symbolizing hope, and those of green, for Child Find, have been replaced by white ones representing spiritual goodness and purity.
"(The news) was taken really hard," said school principal Matt McCann. "That's a hard thing to relay to kids. It's a hard thing for adults to consume that kind of tragic death. It's hard for teenagers when it's their peer. It's still a tremendous shock."
A prayer table has been set up beside a chapel inside the school so the 1,100 students can express their sorrow. Candles flickered next to a photograph of the teen, and beneath a drawing of an angel is a message that begins: "God, in your hands you hold Brandon."
Many have written their thoughts in a condolence book that will be presented to the Crisp's family.
"There's posters, there's cards that students have made up, one of our sister schools next door has sent over a card that all the students have signed," said Diane Legg, spokeswoman for the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board. "It'll be a place where students can gather and students can reflect and have an opportunity to express themselves."
The chief coroner's office said Thursday a post-mortem on the remains believed to be Crisp's will be performed Friday morning.
The body was discovered Wednesday in a wooded area just a few kilometres northeast of the Crisp family home, not far from where police and volunteers had conducted days of searches. The teen had run away from home after his parents took away his Xbox because he was spending an alarming amount of time playing the online game "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."
While police have said they don't suspect foul play and that the community should not be concerned for its safety, Barrie police Sgt. Dave Goodbrand said Friday it's too early to rule out anything in the case.
Goodbrand said the post-mortem will "shed light on a lot of information," and the investigation will proceed from there.
He said police will also try to determine why the body was missed during previous searches, when police focused along a trail where Crisp was last seen.
"We have to look at our mapping software now and look at what we covered and see where our boundaries were," he said.
"We have to talk to volunteer search parties and see where they covered."
