Drayke Hardman: Who was the 12-year-old who died by suicide after being bullied at school?

Hardman Family/GoFundMe

Drayke Hardman was a 12-year-old-schoolboy from Tooele County, Utah, who tragically passed away on 10 February 2022 after reportedly trying to take his own life in response to bullying from a classmate.

The boy’s grieving parents, Andy and Samie Hardman, have since told KUTV that they had been in contact with their son’s school about the problem prior to his death, which had seen him return home with a black eye earlier in the week and later confide to his sister that the injury was sustained during a physical altercation with a peer.
