A schoolboy fell 40ft to his death after falling through a moss-covered skylight on the roof of a warehouse, an inquest heard.
Jethro Middleton, 13, was with friends when they climbed up and ran across the roof of a warehouse on an industrial estate in Okehampton, Devon in April 2022.
The young boy, known as Jet, plunged through a moss-covered skylight and onto the concrete floor below.
Jet, who enjoyed playing rugby for his club Okehampton RFC, died on April 13 from fatal head injuries following the tragic incident.
Exeter Coroner's Court (pictured) heard that Jet had been with two friends, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and a dozen other teenagers when he fell through the roof
