Bailey O'Neill, who was assaulted and allegedly bullied by some of his fellow  classmates, died on Sunday after finally succumbing to his injuries. He had just  turned 12 years old on Saturday.

A relative posted on Facebook: "I would like to thank everyone who has prayed  and supported Bailey and his family!! Bailey has been the strongest toughest boy  I know. He has fought this battle long and hard. There just wasn't a way to fix  this. I wish I could say he will get better but I can't. Bailey has gone to be  with God today."

O'Neill was attacked by two of his classmates in January. The vicious assault  put the then-11 year old into hospital where he suffered seizures and was  eventually placed in a coma by medical staff. Relatives of the young boy have demanded that the bullies who killed him  should face severe punishment.
