Schoolboy, 15, is found hanged days after video of him being punched by another teenager as others laughed was posted online

In footage which was widely circulated on social media, Adam Tharia (pictured left and right), from Cheltenham, was seen being knocked to the ground, while surrounded by a group of laughing boys. He then falls to the floor, as the group laughs around him. The camera then zooms in on his face, which shows him lying motionless on the floor. The video was filmed just one week before the 15-year-old - described by his family as 'a wonderful son and brother' - was found hanged in a park in Gloucestershire. Adam died at Bristol Children's Hospital three days later, with his family at his bedside. Police have now launched an investigation into the video, but have said they are keeping 'an open mind' into 'what this might tell.'
