A boyfriend raised the alarm after he watched his girlfriend trying to kill herself on FaceTime at a £33,000-a-year public school, an inquest has heard. Joy Chan, 18, was alone in her room at Haberdashers' School for Girls in Monmouth, Wales, while online with her boyfriend Jeremy Mak, who was 6,000 miles away in Hong Kong. During the FaceTime call, Mr Mak saw Joy trying to kill herself and he immediately called the school to alert them. The inquest in Newport heard Joy had boyfriend trouble and was 'grounded' after being caught buying the alcohol for younger Chinese pupils. PC Rebecca Hamilton told the hearing in a written statement: 'Her boyfriend in Hong Kong was desperate after seeing Joy trying to hang herself on FaceTime.'
