A schoolboy from Sidmouth, Devon took his own life after questioning his sexuality and being bullied by classmates, an inquest has heard. Former Sidmouth Community College pupil Riley Hadley [12 years old] was called a "gentle, caring boy who struggled with large groups of individuals" at an inquest into his death at Exeter's County Hall today.

According to Devon Live, Hadley - who was being homeschooled - was found hanged in his bedroom by his mother on 15 October 2019. It is believed his questioning his sexuality made him a target for bullies. Before his death, he reportedly became agitated after a return to school was discussed. "He was afraid to go to school and the local park in fear of being bullied"
