Seth Walsh, 13, died Tuesday (Sept 28) after being on life support for ten days.
According to CBS News, he'd hanged himself on Sept 19 from a tree in his backyard after years of relentless bullying. He was found unconscious and airlifted to the hospital.
An investigation was launched into the bullying that pushed Seth to take his own life. The kids at Jacobsen Middle School in Tehachapi, California, who were interviewed by police were upset and regretted enabling the bullying. But according to law, they did not commit a crime.
He made it only two weeks into the current school year before having to be transferred to an independent study program.
He died surrounded by his family. He leaves behind his grandmother Judy Walsh, mother Wendy Walsh, and three siblings, ages 11, 17, and 18.
