BEDFORD, NH — Community Grieves the Tragic Loss of Bedford High School Student Tyson Bolduc

The town of Bedford, New Hampshire, is reeling after the heartbreaking loss of Tyson Bolduc, a Bedford High School student whose life was tragically cut short following a disturbing incident on Wallace Road Sunday night.

According to the Bedford Police Department, the incident occurred around 8:15 p.m. on June 8, 2025. Tyson, a passenger in a moving vehicle, exited the vehicle while it was in motion under circumstances that are still being actively investigated. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, but despite swift efforts, the injuries sustained proved fatal.

The news of Tyson’s passing has sent shockwaves throughout the community, particularly among students, faculty, and families associated with Bedford High School. Grief counselors have been made available on campus this week as the school community comes together to support one another through this incredibly difficult time.

Tyson Bolduc was widely known among his peers as a bright, kind-hearted, and energetic young man. Friends describe him as someone with a contagious laugh, a natural sense of humor, and a deep love for life. He was a promising student, a teammate, and a cherished friend to many.

“Tyson had this amazing way of lighting up every room he walked into,” said a classmate. “He was always there for others, always cracking jokes, and making people feel like they mattered. He was one of the good ones.”

Educators and coaches at Bedford High echoed those sentiments, describing Tyson as respectful, driven, and compassionate. He was involved in various extracurricular activities and was known for his dedication to his friends and community. His death is not only a loss to those who knew him personally, but to the entire fabric of the Bedford community.

Bedford High School Principal Karen Dawson released a statement Monday morning:

“We are heartbroken over the loss of one of our own. Tyson Bolduc was a valued member of the Bedford High family. We extend our deepest condolences to the Bolduc family and to all those who are grieving this unimaginable loss. We encourage our students to lean on one another and seek support as needed. No one should walk through this kind of grief alone.”

The circumstances surrounding the incident have sparked both sorrow and questions. While authorities have not released full details, they confirmed that the event was not the result of a traditional car crash but instead involved Tyson jumping or falling from a moving vehicle. The driver remained at the scene and has been cooperating with the investigation, police said.

In the wake of Tyson’s death, community members have begun placing flowers, messages, and candles along a makeshift memorial on Wallace Road. The spontaneous outpouring of love serves as a tribute to a young life that touched many and ended far too soon.

A vigil is being planned later this week at the high school’s athletic field, where classmates, teachers, and family members will gather to remember Tyson’s life, share stories, and celebrate the joy he brought into the world.

As the community struggles to comprehend the tragedy, mental health professionals and crisis support teams have stepped in to assist students and families. Officials are encouraging parents to talk openly with their children and seek help from school counselors or local resources as needed.

In addition to the school-led efforts, several local faith leaders have offered support to the grieving community, and churches across Bedford have opened their doors for prayer and reflection.

Tyson Bolduc’s family has requested privacy as they navigate this period of profound grief. In a brief statement shared with local media, they thanked the community for its support and asked that people remember Tyson for the love and happiness he brought into the lives of so many.

Tyson’s death is a painful reminder of how precious and fragile life can be. While answers to the circumstances of the incident are still forthcoming, one thing is certain: Tyson Bolduc’s memory will endure in the hearts of those who loved him. The entire Bedford community now mourns a life taken too soon and rallies together in support of one another through this tragic time.
