A 13 year old was driven to suicide by online bullies because of his taste in music, it emerged yesterday. Sam Leeson hanged himself after months of sickening abuse on his Bebo webpage. He was mocked for his love of heavy metal and emo - a style of punk where fans often dress as goths. His mother, Sally Cope, branded his death ''utterly pointless'', adding: ''I'm not sure what these sites have, but if they are a method of expressing things maybe they should be checked more''. Sam was found dead at his home in Gloucester on Thursday.
