A troubled schoolboy who was said to be struggling to cope with his mum's death took his own life, an inquest heard.
Layth Ali Maumoniat was just 10-years-old when his mum, Kendra Theakston took her own life and, in the following months, was said to be struggling to deal with his emotions which led to problems at school. On April 27 this year, around 18 months after his mum's death, Layth, 12, was found dead at his home in Alwoodley, Leeds, in similar circumstances.
Layth had been living with his dad at the time. Senior coroner Kevin McLoughlin described the death of Layth as 'heartbreakingly tragic' and said there was some 'mirroring' in the circumstances in which mum and son had been found.
