Teen rugby star who 'feared he would die' after match injury found dead at home

A talented teen rugby player tragically took his own life after fearing he was going to die following a sports injury. Cameron Milton was found dead in his room on the morning of March 29 this year.

The 18-year-old, who was a sixth form student at Bolton School and had ambitions of attending Loughborough University, was discovered by his mum Jo when she went to wake him up. She performed CPR in a desperate bid to resuscitate her son, but told paramedics when they arrived: "He's gone, I know he's gone."

Toxicology tests later revealed he had died from poisoning, Lancs Live reports. Cameron, who was the youngest of three brothers, was described by his heartbroken family as "the light of our lives".
