‘Bullied’ boy collapses in playground

- BY TOM BEDFORD

A BOY who died after being found unconsciou­s in a school playground was being bullied, family friends claimed yesterday.

Bradley John, 14, was discovered not breathing by fellow pupils and died later in hospital.

A family friend posted: “Bradley had diagnosed ADHD and was terribly bullied as a direct result.”

Bradley’s father, John Byron, paid tribute to his son, who loved horses, saying: “He was a charismati­c, wonderful and dearly-loved individual.”

Shocked pupils and staff at St John Lloyd Catholic Comprehens­ive School in Llanelli, South Wales, where Bradley’s sister Danielle attends, are being offered counsellin­g.

Police are not treating the death as suspicious.
