GARY, 12, HANGS HIMSELF AFTER MUM CONFISCATES HIS PLAYSTATION
By Jan Disley
A BOY aged 12 who was sent to his room and banned from using the PlayStation hanged himself.
Gary Lloyd had been told off by mum Gillian after having a detention at school, an inquest heard yesterday.
She later went to look in on him because no noise was coming from the room and found him hanging by his school tie from the top of a bunk bed.
Recording an accidental death verdict, deputy coroner Christopher Welton told the hearing in Stockport, Greater Manchester, he believed Gary was playing an attention-seeking prank that went "disastrously wrong".
The inquest heard Gary, who went to Werneth Secondary in Stockport, had been smiling when he left school.
Teacher Pradeep De, who supervised his detention given for not doing his homework and being late to school, said Gary was happy after seeing a former teacher.
But when he got home late Gary argued with his mum.
She went to look in on him after making tea and found him hanging. She and partner Leon Ball lifted him down and she tried to resuscitate him while Leon dialled 999.
Gary was declared dead later at hospital.
The inquest heard Mr Ball had once attempted suicide and Mr Welton said Gary saw it as a good way to attract attention.
Describing the boy as a "loveable rogue", he said, "he'd had his PlayStation taken away and he'd been chastised for being naughty.
"He'd seen a situation with his mother's partner that had attracted attention to him after he'd had a bit of a problem.
"He knew his mother would be coming up soon to find him.
"Sometimes it can be very easy to kill yourself with a ligature, if it's tied in a certain way it can happen very quickly and unexpectedly.""
After the inquest, Mrs Lloyd, from Stockport, said Gary, the eldest of her three children, was a very happy boy.
His death on October 13 last year was "a bolt from the blue".
Werneth Secondary said his death was met with "great sadness and disbelief".

 When I saw this in the another forum, there was a note from the topic starter:
 "Personally, I think this is natural selection taking it's course."

 And my own opinion:
 
"This makes me wonder how stupid the human kind can be.
I wonder what life this boy had, he should be one of those "Gimme all your money or I'll cry!" kind of kid, to kill himself for this reason. "

Pff... thats a really stupid reason to kill one's own self especially when the kid could have easily later on gotten his permission back.

Is this real? Because if it is, that's just stupid. What is a Playstation? Crack?!

A 12 years old boy commit suicide because of a Playstation....ridiculous.

The thing both of you miss is the fact that it could have been simply an attention-grabbing technique. When a kid is twelve and has already seen attempted suicide, there's not a lot barring him from trying it out himself.

Plus, don't always believe things that are on the net.

im sure my brother (aged 10) would killm himself if we banned him from the playstation...cus when he cant play it to let someone else have a go his bad anough, so i do believe it could happen..

[Moosetroop11]

Odd indeed. I doubt the kid meant to kill himself, unless there was more problems in his life than we're being told, which is likely.

[PyroAlchemist]

Thats' a buch of bull terds. I think the kid is idiotic! Well was.

[Legendary Troy]

People in this world have to learn that attempting to kill themselvs is not gonna get thier way

but people still pity people who try to get thier way by attempting suicide...........its just disgusting, its like a baby crying because he got his lil toy takin away........ugh

[PyroAlchemist]
