Found a John Thomas Doolan who died in Accy in 1930 aged 14. Could this be him?

I took a look at the Newspaper Archives, Irene, but found nothing about your uncle, sadly. Neither British Newspaper Archives nor Find My Past (which has the Lancashire Evening Post and the Burnley Express from the 1920s and 30s) showed any news of the unfortunate man. Sorry, but I tried
