A heartbroken mum has paid tribute to her 14-year-old son who she found unconscious in bed when she went to wake him up for school.

Zoe Thompson ‘couldn’t have asked for a better son’, she said of her ‘beautiful boy’ Ben Horton. ‘You was my world.’

She went to get Ben, from Stockport, up for school just after 7am last Thursday.

He had told her ‘goodnight mum, love you’, the night before.
