A GRIEF-STRICKEN mum has refuted claims that her son's death may be linked to bullying.

An inquest is set to take place following the death of Notley High School pupil Harry Robinson.

On January 7, the emergency services attended his home in Gamble’s Green, Terling, at about 7pm.

Harry, a keen air cadet, was then taken to Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, where he died.

Harry’s mother Amanda Keable, said: “Harry was the happiest he has ever been in the last few months.

“It would be totally and utterly wrong to suggest Harry’s death was linked to bullying and I totally refute the allegations that have been made in the press in this regard.

“Instances involving Harry in the past, that were raised by myself with the school, were dealt with in a professional and satisfactory manner.

“The school was fully involved and engaged at all times and I can not praise them enough.”

Bill Stock, Essex Police spokesman, said: “A 13-year-old boy was found with non-suspicious injuries at his home."
