A family friend told the Mirror that the usually
bright teenager had started experimenting with drugs, and had returned to his
family home for his Christmas break from university.
'He had come home from university for Christmas.
'It looks like he took mephedrone and completely flipped out attacking his mum
and then himself,' said the source.
'When the police arrived they found him hanging
from a window and then discovered he had cut off his penis.'
Sussex Police have been investigating an allegation
of assault on the mother, and have said that officers are not looking for anyone
else in connection with the incident.
