How do you know he wasn't? They've never given many details other than he was found with a ligature around his neck. There must be a reason they've linked it to that challenge. :shrug: You said you've never heard of it so there must be something linking it to him otherwise where have they got it from?

I don't go with all you've said there but I can't say it's not right.

I still sympathise with the Parents and family but I agree it's time to stop the challenges now.

The Courts haven't ever ruled in favour of them.
I think it was right to try to have him moved to a hospice.
However once that was ruled against , I do think they should accept that ruling.

The life support is to end.
He is where he is.
At least they can be with him once his life is officially lost.
They can always hold onto that.

I do agree too that some of the advice has been more unhelpful than not.
I haven't agreed with all you've said on this but I do personally generally respect your views and have taken a lot on board you've said both on this and many other topics too.

The first thing they would have said is that he was filming him if he was. He was clearly a boy with many problems, he was diagnosed with anxiety.

Having read a bit I think this was most likely suicide and the thread title should be changed

Tbf, his mother has come out with multiple different explanations of what happened that lead up to this and TikTok have come out and say there are no ‘challenges’ on the app that include asphyxiating yourself with a ligament, only ones that are about holding your breath, the amount of different accounts does really throw the explanations into doubt I’m afraid to say

They need to let the poor boy rest now.

Liam- 05-08-2022 06:42 PM

Has anybody seen that picture of the MP using the boys corpse as a photo opportunity? It’s sickening

Having read a bit on a quite different forum on which I am a non-registered lurker, I agree that this being suicide seems fairly possible.

rusticgal 05-08-2022 10:14 PM

It’s just a tragedy whether it was suicide or a challenge…I think there is maybe more to it as details have never been revealed.
He needs to be at rest…and the fighting needs to stop. Just let him be at peace.

No Evidence of that.

It was an Exciting online Challenge
that, a tough young man
thought had no danger.


He was sadly wrong.

I hope that this is a joke?

If it's true then that MP should be ashamed.

I've never seen so much determination from doctors and Judges to actually make someone dead. Quite scary actually.

Nothing solid, but that forum had a lot of details they gathered, which makes a compelling case - there were a number of suicide-baiting posts on his social media, coupled with a crappy home and school life and a number of mental health issues, disinterested parents... I'm not gonna say he was attempting suicide, but it looks possible.

He's been dead since before he even arrived in hospital.

AnnieK 06-08-2022 07:23 AM

A very sad day for all involved, family and medi al staff.

Some people actually listen and do what they say when they tell you to wear a mask and inject yourself with big pharmas vaccines.

If his heart is still beating he is alive but brain dead.

That’s a stupid post.

Cherie 06-08-2022 08:36 AM

As his mother said this morning she did everything she could for her son, and I think hand on heart that is what any one of us would do if we were faced with a similar situation, she will have no regrets as she and her partner fought for him every step of the way

Devastating and heartbreaking.
