A 'mischievous' schoolboy accidentally hanged himself while trying to play a prank on his brother and father, an inquest heard. Brad Rothwell, 11, was trying to trick his father, Bryn, and brother, Brett, when they returned from running errands but the game went tragically wrong. As they entered his bedroom at the family home in Wigan, Greater Manchester, they found him tied to his bunk bed by his school tie and unresponsive. They dialled 999 but despite efforts to revive him with CPR, and the attentions of paramedics, Brad was pronounced dead at the scene.
