Private schoolboy, 16, shot himself dead with gun he was given as a birthday present after parents discovered his sexting shame

A schoolboy blasted himself in the head with a shotgun he was given as a 15th birthday present, an inquest heard. Charlie Booth, 16, was worried he would get into trouble after police visited to discuss sexual text messages he sent to a girl. He was described as a remarkable young man by his headteacher at the prestigious £10,000-a-year Gad's Hill School in Higham, Kent, set in the former home of Charles Dickens. Charlie was found dead by his parents on March 8 at their home in Cobham, Kent. The coroner ruled that Charlie took his own life.
