below is how dailynews .uk reported the incident ..A talented teenage wrestler skipped school on his 16th birthday to go to another boy's funeral then hanged himself after his mother told him off for playing truant.
Kamil Ciemniewski's decision to hang himself in his bedroom was an 'impulsive action' after the row with his mother, a coroner ruled today.
An inquest heard how Kamil decided to miss classes at St Peter's Roman Catholic High School in Gloucester on February 21 this year to attend a funeral of a 15-year-old friend at the cathedral.
The school contacted his mother Iwona Szczurowska about his absence. When Kamil returned home, the pair had a row about his truancy and recent poor grades.
He went to his bedroom following the argument and later told his sister that he 'did not care' for her birthday present to him when she visited his room later.
His mother went upstairs to his attic bedroom to tell him dinner was ready and discovered her son hanging.
Ms Szczurowska said: 'We had a disagreement before his death but it was not the sort of disagreement that would cause this to happen.
'His death was totally unexpected. He will be most deeply missed.'
He had not been suffering any bullying, she added.
Kamil's stepfather, Jozef Szydlik, said the disagreement between Kamil and his mother was 'a small verbal argument.'
Ms Szczurowska went up to summon her son for the meal, and 'almost immediately ran back down shouting and crying,' he said.
'She said to me "He's hung himself."
'I ran upstairs and could see Kamil in the doorway of the stairs that led to his room.
'I shouted to get an ambulance and grabbed hold of his body. I supported his weight.'Mr Szydlik laid his stepson on the floor and a neighbour who worked at a hospital came and started resuscitation.
Paramedics took over and Kamil was taken alive to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.
He died several days later from lack of blood to the brain as a result of hanging.
Assistant deputy Gloucestershire coroner Katie Skerrett recorded an open verdict on Kamil.
'We will never be entirely sure what his intention was at that point,' said the coroner.
Det Sgt James Fereday told the inquest that Kamil had left a note.
essages on his mobile phone to friends talked about him attending sports training later that evening.
At 5.08pm he sent one text referring to the argument with his mother.
Fiona Gittings, vice-principal of St Peter's School, said Kamil was a popular boy and there was no evidence he was having any difficulties at school.
He had had not exhibited any unusual patterns of behaviour.
'He made no reports of bullying to school staff and his friends have agreed he was not being bullied,' she said.
'On the day he hanged himself he had been absent from school. He had attended the funeral of a 15 year old boy from Gloucester Academy. That absence triggered a truancy call to his mother.
'We are of the opinion that his taking of his young life was an impulsive act and we are devastated that his actions were so tragic.'
The coroner said she could not record a suicide verdict because Kamil knew his family were nearby, that dinner was coming soon, and that he had a birthday party that weekend with gifts to come.
He had also made plans for later that day.
Kamil was a budding wrestler at the Pro Evolution Wrestling group in Gloucester.
A spokesman for the group said: 'During his short life he had that dream, a dream that every single wrestler he came into contact with has - the dream to become the WWE champion.
'Sadly, we will never see this happen. However, everyone involved with Pro Evolution Wrestling and the Pro EVW Training Academy feel that he is the champion of our hearts.'
