Jamere Arnold, 8, appears to have died after drinking an alcoholic beverage Wednesday night during a party at his grandmothers's house on Conley Street on Detroit's east side.
"It hurts too much," Donnella Simmons, a family friend, tells Fox 2's Erica Erickson. "It's hard right now but it will get better, just take it one step at a time."
Authorities were awaiting the outcome of toxicology reports.
Some wondered about supervision.
"Who's watching the baby, that was my first question," said neighbor Valarie Stepps. "Who was watching children and what were you doing?"
Detroit police say Wednesday night the 8-year-old had been visiting his grandmother's home here on Conley Street on the city's east side.
His mother and father were not there at the time.
Sources tell Fox 2 his grandmother saw Jamere drinking some sort of alcoholic concoction a family friend made.
