A new ITV drama will tell the story of 14-year-old Jools Sweeney whose death his mother believes was due to an online challenge that went wrong.
Jools was found unconscious in his bedroom in April 2022, with an inquest returning a narrative verdict ruling that it was unlikely Jools had intended to end his life, but that the exact events leading up to his death were unclear. Earlier this year, his mother – Ellen Roome – applied to the High Court for a new inquest into his death.
