Staffordshire Police arrived at Elm Road in Norton Canes but unfortunately Louis died at the scene.
A 33-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into custody.
The heartbreaking news was relayed to Louis’ devastated parents, Graham and Eleanor Price, while they were relaxing on a trip abroad.
A shocked neighbour told the Daily Mail: “His poor parents were away on holiday when it happened, they usually go away to the Maldives for Christmas and that may have been where they were.
“They will be absolutely devastated and my heart goes out to them.
“I cannot imagine anything worse than being overseas on holiday and finding out your child has been murdered in the family home, and on Christmas Day.”
The neighbour said the whole community has been shocked and saddened by the event.
Louis lived with his parents in the quiet village of Norton Canes where he worked front of house at a local Toby Carvery, according to a neighbour.
