A 15-year-old transgender boy died by suicide in 2024 after failing mental health services missed key interventions.
A 15-year-old boy, Zack Ellis, was found dead at his Oldham home on July 23, 2024, after his mother returned from a brief errand.
He had struggled with mental health issues, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts since mid-2022, following a school move, and was under support from CAMHS and social services.
Zack, who identified as male after being assigned female at birth, had disclosed a past sexual assault and posted suicidal content online.
His phone showed he searched “how to kill myself” hours before his death, though no note was found.
Despite multiple referrals and a child protection plan due to past domestic violence, key assessments were not completed, and services failed to fully coordinate.
The inquest continues, highlighting systemic gaps in youth mental health care.
