Suffolk County police investigating the death of 14-year-old Garrett Quedens arrested a 19-year-old and 24-year-old yesterday. Newsday reports Ishmoile Mohammed III and Reynold Jennings were charged with "first-degree unlawfully dealing with a child" after 14-year-old Garrett Quedens' for selling Quedens and his friend a liter of Georgi Vodka—$10 for the alcohol, $10 for the gas."

Apparently Quedens and his friend had contacted Mohammed and Jennings through another friend. The two boys apparently drank the alcohol in an outdoors hangout on New Year's Eve, which was a very cold night. The friend passed out, and, according to the Daily News, when he woke up, Quedens was missing. The friend tried to reach Quedens (whose bike was still there) on his phone, but the police said, "He assumed that he must have walked home."

Quedens was found on a West Babylon Street, by a Newsday delivery man, around 3:45 a.m. (Quedens' body was actually just a few yards away, and the police say the darkness, not to mention the surviving boy's level of inebriation, could have prevented the friend from seeing him.) The medical examiner is performing an autopsy, but a preliminary toxicology report showed "a significant level of alcohol," and the combination of alcohol and the cold probably proved fatal.

Quedens's father said, "He was the greatest kid in the world," and added they would cremate his body, "We don't want him to be in the ground by himself."
