An inquest heard yesterday that it was unlikely that Harry had intended to kill himself - he was probably hoping to get rescued.
Paying tribute to his son, Mr Storey said: ‘Harry was a charismatic, caring boy and sport was a huge part of his life, playing rugby, cricket and tennis.
‘He would talk to anyone with ease and he had a natural ability to strike up a conversation, which I admired him for. ‘He seemed to us to be just a normal teenager but he did have high expectations of himself. It came as a complete shock to me.’ Detective Sergeant Lou Heffernan-Glover said: ‘I think he lost consciousness unexpectedly. It could not have been predicted or prevented by his family.’He said: ‘Harry did the action himself and had made comments about suicide. However teenagers do say things of that nature.
‘There is an element of speculation but it seems to me that Harry did not intend it to be fatal. Therefore the conclusion is one of misadventure. Misadventure is similar to an accident, it is the deliberate undertaking of a risk that goes wrong, causing death.’For emotional support you can call the Samaritans 24-hour helpline on
