Friends of Temidayo Joseph have released a video tribute to the former Ockendon Academy pupil on Youtube.
The popular 16-year old - known as "Dayo" and "Simon" to his friends - died last August hours after receiving his GSCE results.
Last week the official coroner's verdict of his death was that it was an accident, with the explanation that Temidayo had experimented with "mimicking the death of Hollywood star Robin Williams."
The video features a tribute rap from friends and also a touching video montage of moments that friends spent with Temidayo, as well as photos of him as a child.
The rap "Longlives" is written and performed by Fusion, and features Ft. Teekid, Tenz and Tommy Tucker.
Fusion, writing under the handle @Fusion_IAS, wrote he would only post the video if people re-tweeted his promise 80 times. The tweet was retweeted 120 times.
He also tweeted: "Nobody will EVER know why Temidayo Joseph commit suicide but please just remember.. Suicide is NOTHING to joke about."
