He sent a text telling friends to meet him in the woods at Pembroke, Wales

Luke Barzewicz-Dower, 15, was found by friends in woodland minutes away from his school

A schoolboy told a friend to change his Facebook status to 'Chilling with the Devil' just an hour before he hanged himself, an inquest was told.

Luke Barzewicz-Dower, 15, was found by friends in woodland minutes away from his school.

The hearing was told Luke played truant for the first two lessons with a friend - before going into the woodland.

He gave his friend his Facebook username and password and asked him to update his status on his death but the inquest heard that the friend had not taken the conversation seriously.

Two of Luke's female friends went to look for him after he had sent a text telling them to meet him in the woods near Pembroke School at Pembroke, West Wales, in May.

They discovered him hanging from a tree in a clearing and immediately called for help, but he could not be saved.

Det Con Jason Thomas, the officer in charge of investigating Luke's death, told the inquest that the teenager had a good group of friends and was 'very well-liked'.

But Luke had been 'deeply affected' by the death of his grandmother.

The inquest was told after her death he had started to self-harm and had tried to take his own life.

He was put under the care of the child and adolescent mental health service.

Paul Bennett, assistant coroner for Pembrokeshire and Carmathenshire, heard Luke had used to carry around a thin piece of rope and a knife.

DC Thomas confirmed that police had found a suicide note written by Luke during their investigations into his death.

A post mortem gave the cause of Luke's death as hanging, while assistant coroner Bennett recorded a conclusion of suicide.

He said that the conversation about the Facebook entry, the note written by Luke, the remote location he chose and the evidence from his female friend about previous expressions of suicidal intent left him beyond reasonable doubt that the teenager had killed himself.
