SAD:16-Year-old Nigerian boy,Temidayo Joseph hanged himself as he experimented to see how Robin Williams died.

What an horrible mistake....16-year-old schoolboy hanged himself  as he experimented to see how Hollywood legend Robin Williams died, an inquest has heard.
Temidayo Joseph died in his bedroom in August last year just hours after collecting his GCSE results.

The talented footballer, known to his friends as Temi, was found hanged in his bedroom by his mother Kate Ibok.
An inquest at Essex Coroner’s Court today heard that in the days leading up to the teenager’s death, the ‘lively and popular’ youngster had spoken with a cousin in Nigeria about the actor.

The court heard no suicide note was found and a police report concluded that the youngster had no intention of killing himself.

Essex Coroner Eleanor McGann said: ‘There was a conversation which took place about big news in the media about the death of Robin Williams.
‘Temi had said ‘I don’t understand why somebody would do this to themself’
‘It’s perfectly possible that he did not have any idea how easy it is to hang yourself by mistake.’

She added: ‘That would seem to fit with this happy little boy with an enquiring mind who has made a horrible mistake.

After the verdict, Temi’s devastated father Vincent, 54, from Waterloo in London, wept as he described his ‘talented son’.

He said: ‘I did not know about the link to Robin Williams before we went into the inquest.

‘Temidayo was a lovely young man and a great character.

‘He did not intend to kill himself - he was a very talented boy and lived for his football - that’s all he wanted to do.

‘I was so happy when I stood by him to hear him call me father. I have lost a good friend.’

Temi’s mother, who was not present at today’s inquest, has temporarily moved back to Nigeria with his 12-year-old sister, Christiana, 12, to cope with her grief.
