The talented gymnast and keen athlete was found with a ligature over his head at his home in Southend in April.
It's thought he was taking part in some sort of 'choking' or 'blackout' challenge; where children are encouraged to cut off oxygen until they pass out.
But it went tragically wrong, and the lack of oxygen left him with catastrophic brain injury.
