Rumors are swirling in a Swedish hometown following the death of 13-year-old Max, with whispers suggesting that bullying may have led him to take his own life. Svenska Dagbladet is delving into the life of the boy and the events that transpired within his school.

The newspaper's investigation, presented as a series, aims to uncover the truth behind Max's death. It seeks to answer who the boy was and what exactly happened at school. The first part of the series, titled "The Boy in the Yard," begins to trace Max's footsteps and explore the environment he inhabited.
