A boy of 13 hanged himself with his school tie after his father confiscated a computer game.
Jake Roberts wanted to play it on his Nintendo Wii console but couldn't because his sister was watching TV.
An argument developed and when his father confiscated the game Jake stormed to his room. Hours later he was discovered hanging from his bed by his father.
The talented teenager, described as a sensitive boy with a fantastic imagination enjoyed writing stories and poems and even had one verse published after his school entered it into a competition.
The inquest heard evidence from Jake's devastated parents, Andrea and John, who lived with their son and daughter in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
Mrs Roberts a bank clerk, became tearful as she recalled how her son had stormed off to his room after being told he could not play on the game.
She said: "We gave him some money for his birthday so he went out and bought a computer game.
"When he came back he wanted to play it but his sister was using the television.
"He had a temper tantrum and stormed off upstairs."
Mr Roberts, a printer, said: "The first thing I saw when I walked in to Jake's bedroom was all the paper he had ripped up on the floor during his tantrum.
"The door was open with his bed to my left behind the door. I was going to tell him off when I turned. It took me a few seconds to register what I was seeing.
"His school tie was round his neck and he was hung from his cabin bed. I tried to lift him and his tie was attached to a bar on the bed."
An ambulance was called and Jake was rushed to Scarborough Hospital, but he was pronounced dead two days later as a result of hanging.
