Oregon teen hangs himself in schoolyard 'because he was bullied for being gay'

An Oregon teen was taken off life support after he attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself from playground equipment at an elementary school. Jadin Bell, 15, was driven to take his own life because he was bullied for being homosexual, according to his family. Officials at Bell's school, La Grande High School, said they were investigating reports that Bell was being bullied at the time that he hung himself. Bell had already suffered brain damage when a passerby found him hanging from playground equipment at Central Elementary School in La Grande, Oregon on the afternoon of January 19. He was rushed to Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland and put on life support, but as he was monitored for the next couple days, doctors found little brain activity. His family ultimately decided to take him off life support over the weekend.
