A teenage boy has been charged over the death of AFL coach Brett Ratten's son, Cooper, who was tragically killed in a car crash last month. Cooper was travelling in a vehicle with two friends and was 'thrown some distance' after the car came off the road in the Victorian town of Yarra Glen at 3am on August 16. The 16-year-old died in an ambulance en route to the hospital. The driver, 17, of the vehicle will front the children's court at a later date. 'The Healesville boy has been charged with a number of offences including culpable driving, dangerous driving causing death, reckless conduct endangering life, theft of motor vehicle and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs,' Victoria Police spokeswoman Cath Allen told The Herald Sun.Teenage boy has been charged over death of AFL coach Brett Ratten's sonCooper Ratten, 16, died when he was thrown out of a car two weeks agoThe 17-year-old driver will front the children's court at a later dateHe his charged with numerous offences including theft of a motor vehicleThis after Carlton and Hawthorn paid their respects to Ratten and sonPlayers walked through a banner which read: 'FAMILY.
