The mother of a Liverpool fan who died aged 25 after taking his own life in June is calling for tougher restrictions on gambling adverts, access to credit and gambling-style features in video games.
Harry Owen, from Burscough, worked in his family's business and followed Liverpool home and away. His mum Shirley said he had struggled with gambling, but his family had no idea how low he felt.
Family tribute to 'lovely' son
Shirley said: "You would never ever expect Harry to do something like that, and every one of his friends have said that."
She described Harry as a "lovely" son. Friends have organised charity events in his memory and now check in on one another.

A banner dedicated to him, reading "RIP Harry Owen, forever in our hearts", is taken to Liverpool matches.
