Jurors at an inquest have been shown CCTV footage of a schoolboy cycling home naked before he was found dead in a storm drain days later. Mr Rocks, who attended St Malachy's College in Belfast with Noah, told the hearing: 'He was the nicest, friendliest person, funniest person.' Mr Rocks continued: 'He never mentioned to me anything about storm drains or going underground or being in tunnels. The inquest was shown a series of social media messages between Noah, Mr Rocks and another friend - Jay Tierney. Mr Rocks told the inquest that he believed Noah had become 'more open' about his mental health during the Covid lockdown period.
