How did jools tv son die

The parents of a 14-year-old boy who died suddenly are struggling to come to terms with the loss of their only child. The death of Julian ‘Jools’ Sweeney came entirely out of the blue, they said.

Since the devastating loss, Jools' mum and dad, Ellen Roome and her ex-husband, Matthew Sweeney, have set up the Pinky Promise Foundation to help children who are struggling, GloucestershireLive reports. The foundation, which will help support children and their families, has already received pledges of almost £13,000.

The Pinky Promise Foundation stems from something Ellen and Jools did when promising to tell the truth to each other. Linking their little ‘pinky’ fingers together to seal the promise, no matter what was asked. It allowed them to connect with each other honestly, openly, and safely, and discuss anything, however uncomfortable or difficult.

They haven’t yet worked out exactly what they are going to do with the foundation but say “every single penny will go towards helping children”. They described their son as ‘fun loving, always smiling’.

A LinkedIn post about their sudden bereavement on April 13, has had more than four million views, with 8,000 people sending emails and messages of support to the distraught couple, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

For those that knew Jools, a funeral service will take place at the Oak Chapel at Cheltenham Crematorium on Monday (May 9), followed by a wake at Old Pats playing fields in Cheltenham.

Writing on a JustGiving page, his parents said: "We've been blown away by the love and kindness we have been shown following Jools’ passing, not just from family and friends but from people up and down the country and abroad. So many wonderful people want to help and have asked to donate money. This page has therefore been set up for anyone who wishes to donate in Jools’ memory.

"This will be his legacy. For a beautiful life lived, that tragically ended way way too soon."

The church service, they said, will be 'child friendly' with no 'stuffy hymns'. They added: "We just want to remember his life in a way that children can deal with, because lots of his friends are struggling with understanding why a happy boy with no warning signs whatsoever took his own life.

“We have had loads of children turn up at the house since it happened just wanting to talk and we have told them, it’s ok to cry and it’s ok to laugh remembering the good times you had with him, you don’t have to feel guilty about that.”

Jools was in Year 10 at Balcarras School in Cheltenham, just about to sit his mock GCSEs. He always excelled at maths and business studies, as well as being a keen cook. Out of school, his interests lay in gaming, riding his bike, and, above all, spending time with his many friends.

“He was always smiling, and very affectionate. He always used to say ‘love you mum, love you dad’ at the end of a phone call. He was a caring, loving, hugging child.

“The Pinky Promise Foundation will be his legacy - for a beautiful life lived, that tragically ended way too soon," his parents said.

The funeral will take place at 1pm on Monday. Instead of flowers, Ellen and Matt have asked for donations in Jools' memory.

MTV’s Ridiculousness co-host Sterling “Steelo” Brim’s 3-year-old nephew died after drowning in a swimming pool, WHO's sister publication PEOPLE confirms.

Los Angeles Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter confirms that Justin Robert Brim Jr. fell into the deep end of Sterling’s pool at his home in the North Hollywood neighbourhood of Los Angeles on Friday.

According to Winter, 3-year-old Justin and his family were visiting the MTV star from Chicago.

“He did not know how to swim,” Winter tells PEOPLE. According to Winter, at around 11:40 a.m., Justin was discovered in the pool and removed from the water. The adults on the scene attempted to perform CPR on Justin before paramedics arrived and transported the child to the Providence St. Joseph Medical Center. He was pronounced dead at 12:10 p.m.

According to Winter, an autopsy was performed and the final cause of death was ruled to be accidental drowning.

TMZ was the first to report the news.

“Last weekend, my beloved nephew passed away in a tragic accident,” Sterling, 29, told the outlet. “We will miss him dearly and ask for prayers and privacy during this time of mourning.”

A rep for Sterling did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
