The devastated father of an eight-year-old boy who was found hanged after being sent to his room has described how he frantically tried to save his son. Christopher Furniss-Roe, aged eight, from Pontypool in Torfaen, South Wales, was found hanged in his bedroom after a minor argument with his little sister over a plastic bucket on July 10 last year. The pair had been out playing after enjoying the school's sports day, where Christopher came first in a running race. 'They were both happy and excited about the sports day events and when we got back from school they went out,' father-of-four Jason Furniss-Roe, 42, said.
