Boy, 12, sends text to pals before his tragic death 18 months after losing mum

A schoolboy, 12, sent a message to friends saying he "thinks it's my time" before taking his own life as he struggled following the death of his own mum, an inquest heard.

Layth Ali Maumoniat was found dead at home in Alwoodley, Leeds on April 27 this year, with his mother having also taken her own life 18 months earlier in similar circumstances, reported YorkshireLive.
