Mum's heartbreak after returning home from holiday to find 'perfect' son dead

A devastated mum got back from holiday to find her 17-year-old son had died in their home. Aston Alan Robinson, who was described by loved ones as a 'perfect' and 'bright young man' with dreams of becoming a doctor, had spoken to his mum Amanda in the morning before she and his sister boarded their flight back to the UK from Spain.

During an inquest held at Bolton Coroner's Court, Amanda said that after their flight touched down, she had stopped to visit her parents' house before making her way home. When she arrived at the house, she discovered that Aston had passed away.

The night before, the teen had invited pals over for what was described as ‘a normal evening with friends’, Manchester Evening News reports. Investigating officer DI Stuart Woodhead said his friends left the next day shortly before 1pm, leaving a three to four hour window before his mother returned home. During this period, he created a device which led to his death, the inquest heard.
