A PUPIL used school computers to try to look up methods of suicide before taking his own life, an inquest heard.
Ben Walmsley, 15, made the searches during lessons but was blocked by a security firewall.
His dad found his body at home on February 4.
Tina Owen, head of Philips High School in Whitefield, told the Manchester hearing that staff now get alerts if pupils make similar searches.
Tina Owen also confirmed the school security firewall blocks 12,000 ‘inappropriate’ internet searches per day made at the 900-student school.
Friend’s of Ben told the authorities he was ‘obsessed’ with an online game called Doki Doki Literature. The game is free to download and features teenage cartoon characters, relationship breakdown, self-harm and suicide.

Ben also received counselling services for seven months at school, but neither his family nor his GP knew about this.
Coroner Ms Kearsley added: “Ben was not an individual who anyone, including his family, recognised as being of risk of self harm. He was not constantly talking about suicide or self harm.
“But the evidence we have heard now indicates, with the benefit of hindsight, that Ben was a young man who potentially had a number of complexities.”
Verdict: Suicide.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
