A 13-year-old boy hanged himself after racking up a £420 bill on computer games, the Daily Mail reported Thursday.

Henry Tattersall feared that he would not get any Christmas presents after he spent £420 for downloading Xbox games.

Before Tattersall killed himself, he wrote on Facebook: "I'm going to kill myself."

His mother said that her son was very shocked by the amount of money he had accidentally spent for games. She said, "He was very upset that I was upset."

A detective inspector said that there was no evidence from Tattersall's phone that he had been bullied or had researched suicide methods prior to his death.
