A fifteen-year-old boy in St Albans in Hatfield, England has been found dead in the garden of his family home after his dad seized his iPad.
The teenager was found hanging on a rope, behind the house inside the garden.
According to his dad, a project manager, while speaking with local authorities, he did not notice anything unusual the day before the boy’s body was found. The man said on the night of his son’s suicide, he had confiscated the young man’s iPad in order to prevent him from going to bed late.
It was a method that his mother had agreed with, the dad said.
The boy, Ceri Sheehan, reportedly argued that he should be allowed to keep his iPad, but his parents refused.
His dad, Michael Sheehan, found all the lights on when he went downstairs at 6am the following day, but he assumed that his son, who was a talented photographer, was out taking photographs. While a search was conducted in the house, Ceri’s body was found hanging in the garden.
An ambulance was called to the house, but he was declared dead at the scene.
According to reports, the teenager had been suffering from depression and had attempted suicide with an overdose of pills a year earlier.
