Now, he has been named as Alexander Buchan by his father, also named Alexander.
Speaking to the Mail Online, he said: "Alex was such a gentle, kind boy – he really was. He was so gentle, loving and helpful and was loved by all his family. This has come as a shock.
"It is a parent's worst nightmare. We are now just waiting for the police to tell us more."
A JustGiving has been set up to raise funds for Alexander's funeral costs.
The fundraiser has been set up by the teenager's half-sister, Beth Donnelly.
