Boy 14 died in his bedroom while messing about, inquest hears

A 14-year-old boy found suspended in his bedroom may have died while messing around when a ligature caught on the top of his bunk, an inquest has heard. Ibrahim Shahid's death was described by the coroner as a 'truly tragic set of circumstances'.

The talented footballer had just chosen his GCSEs and was looking forward to a family holiday. The inquest heard that on March 14 this year he went to school as normal.

On March 15 there was no school because of teacher strikes. His mum went to his room at around 9am and found him 'suspended' from his bunk bed, reports MEN.
