Teen died at his home

An inquest has heard how the older sister of a 15-yearold boy returned to their home in Yalding and tragically found him suspended.

The hearing into James Corcoran’s death was opened at the Archbishop’s Palace in Maidstone.

James (pictured above) was a year 10 Mascalls Academy pupil. Assistant coroner Katrina Hepburn heard a post mortem found his death on June 16 had been the result of suspension. She adjourned the inquest until October.
