13-year-old boy 'hanged himself after row with father who confiscated his mobile phone'

A 13-year-old boy hanged himself in his bedroom after his mobile was confiscated by his parents - but he may not have meant to kill himself, an inquest heard. Declan Gatenby had been told to hand over his phone, described as being usually 'glued to his hand', after he had got into trouble at school. But on the day before it was to be given back he became upset when his father refused to relent. He ran up to his bedroom and was later found hanged by his nine-year-old brother Jordan.
