An inquest heard a canister was found in his room after his body was found.
In the years before his death, the hearing heard Shneur had struggled to settle at school due to behavioural issues.
He left a local school aged 12 and was home schooled before spending time at schools in Antwerp, Belgium, New York, in the USA, and another in Montreal, Cananda, as his parents said they were looking for a place where he could "thrive."
He was being treated for attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including receiving counselling from several therapists.
However, his mother said she later suspected he may have also been suffering from a form of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen has backed Manchester City to close the gap on league-leaders Liverpool this weekend.
Pep Guardiola's side travel to Villa Park on Sunday to face Dean Smith's relegation-threatened side.
City head into this game on the back of a morale-boosting 3-1 win over Manchester United in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.
It was a confident, classy performance from Guardiola's men, which should fill them full of confidence ahead of a trip to the Midlands.
Leicester City and Liverpool both play on Saturday, meaning City will know if they can close the gap at the top of the Premier League table or leap up to second with a win.
They claimed all three points in the reverse fixture earlier this season, with a Raheem Sterling brace firing them to a 3-0 win in October.
With that in mind, Owen has backed City to add to their four-game winning run.
"Aston Villa picked up a much-needed three points at Turf Moor in their last league game; a victory which saw them move out of the relegation places, but it is hard to see them getting anything from the visit of Manchester City," Owen wrote in his latest BetVictor blog.
"City won the reverse game 3-0 at the Etihad back in October and have picked up 19 points against Villa in the last seven Premier League games between the sides. I would be surprised if Villa were able to buck that trend at Villa Park."
Tip: City to win and both teams to score

`` There 's no pressure to sell and no need to sell , '' said Rodgers .

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that James Maddison will remain a Leicester City player "beyond" the end of the January transfer window, amid interest from Manchester United.
United have made Maddison one of their top targets, but have been rebuffed several times by Rodgers in press conferences, with Leicester concentrated on trying to secure a top four finish.
And Rodgers again said the Foxes are not considering selling Maddison and want the playmaker to remain at the King Power Stadium for several years to come. Maddison and the club are in talks over a potential new contract though nothing has yet been agreed.
"There's no pressure to sell and no need to sell," said Rodgers.
"James is a very talented player and he will be here in January and beyond.
"He's a player we're keen to remain here and help us on this journey over the next years. James and his representatives are speaking with the club and these things take time."
Rodgers then added that he's looking to supplement his squad rather than selling key players. Leicester, of course, sold Harry Maguire to United for £80million in the summer and would be unlikely to sell a marquee player to Old Trafford for a second transfer window in succession.
The Foxes boss added: "We've got a really strong squad and lots of them are young players evolving. We want to [add to the squad] but if we can't we'll continue with the squad we've got and look to reinforce in the summer."


themanchestereveningnews--2020-01-11--How Timothy Fosu-Mensah can prove Manchester United point

Timothy Fosu-Mensah smiled and rubbed his hand over his head when he was asked about his comeback for Manchester United on Friday night at Leigh Sports Village .
The smile was n't just because he had completed just under an hour of football , the first time he has played a game since April last year , but because he nearly rounded it off in spectacular style with a counter attacking goal straight out of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's plan book .
The 22-year-old picked up the ball on the edge of the area and went on a surging 60 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tipped over by Jake Turner in the Newcastle net .
This may have been the Premier League 2 second division but Fosu-Mensah did not look like a player lacking confidence despite it being his first game back since his cruciate injury .
It 's been a difficult year for the full-back who struggled for game time while on loan at Fulham and then suffered his season ending injury in April which has kept him sidelined until now .
While his peers and even players younger than him have been given their chance in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ focus on his recovery and pushing back to full fitness .
But by showing his versatility he 's got more of a chance of pushing into Solskjaer 's plans , especially with the current injury problems in midfield for the Norwegian .
`` That 's what they need , and they need that for their own confidence because it is a mental hurdle going from being injured to training , '' Solskjaer said about Fosu-Mensah and Eric Bailly 's return from injury .
`` Then it is a bigger leap when you get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've got to put everything in every tackle .
It will be interesting to see .
`` I 'm sure they are ready , they have been working hard in training , very focused .
So , it is two new players for us . ''
In a January transfer window where United fans are hoping for big investment to try and get the team back on track the idea of Fosu-Mensah stepping up to alleviate some of the pressure is n't going to inspire many .
But regardless of whether or not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in reality he ca n't , he 's got a lot to prove between now and the end of the season .
Since his spells out on loan at Crystal Palace and Fulham he 's been pushed into a right-back role but it was in midfield where he first started to impress in the youth levels at United .
He was back there again in the 2-1 win against Newcastle on Friday night and his versatility is something that will appeal to the United manager .
Whether the 22-year-old goes on to stay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be seen but if he does n't get the assurances he needs from the first team manager about playing time in the next couple of weeks then he could do worse than to ask for another loan move .
Coming back from injury is difficult but to gain any sort of momentum he 's going to need to play each week .
Premier League 2 is a stroll at times and not testing enough for a player that was starting in the Premier League at the beginning of last season .
Solskjaer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but without reassurances the best way to prove his point to the United boss might be from afar .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-01-11--Manchester United squad vs Norwich City revealed for Premier League game

Harry Maguire has been included in the Manchester United provisional squad for their Premier League fixture at home to Norwich City .
Maguire missed the midweek League Cup semi-final first leg defeat to Manchester City with a hip injury and it was feared the £80million defender could be sidelined for the rest of the month .
However , Maguire arrived at The Lowry Hotel with the rest of the United squad on Friday night and is in contention to return to the starting XI .
The 26-year-old has started in all 21 of United 's Premier League matches so far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ again amid his desire to join Inter Milan before deadline day in three weeks ' time .
Either Maguire or Marcus Rashford will captain United against Norwich and Brandon Williams could continue at left-back .
`` It 's not a surprise [ Maguire 's nearly back ] .
He 's a warrior and he wants to play , '' United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Friday morning .
And if there 's a minor problem he 'll put himself up to play and that 's what he did against Wolverhampton .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discomfort , but was adamant he was going to be fine .
He was close to playing against City , just not fit enough , but got a chance now . ''
Scott McTominay is expected to return after United 's two-week winter break which starts on February 1 .
Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Eric Bailly made their comebacks from long-term knee injuries for the Under-23s against Newcastle United at Leigh Sports Village .
`` Scott 's out for a while , '' Solskjaer reiterated .
`` Eric and Tim are playing tonight in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that to be available for us again .
`` We wo n't see [ McTominay ] before the winter break , hopefully in February . ''
After the visit of Wolves on February 1 , United do not play again until they travel to Chelsea on February 17 .
Young has agreed terms to join Inter Milan and wants to join the Italian club this month but could have to wait until his United contract expires in the summer .
Young rejected United 's offer of a new one-year deal .
Inter coach @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 34 , when he was Chelsea coach in 2017 but a deadline day move collapsed and Young went onto start 28 Premier League games in 2017-18 .
Solskjaer is keen to maintain United 's squad size amid their recent injury issues , since United were without Maguire ( knock ) , Scott McTominay ( knee ) , Paul Pogba ( ankle ) Bailly , Fosu-Mensah ( both knee ) and Marcos Rojo against Manchester City in midweek .
`` He 's one of our players , '' Solskjaer reiterated .
`` He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of speculation and we 've just got to handle it - we 're getting used to that in club - and Ashley 's been very professional and focused , so I do n't think that 's going to change .
`` That ( Young 's future ) 's a discussion that me and Ash will have if something comes up , we have n't got too many players fit and ready , so we need the ones we have .
`` Ashley 's been very , very good for this club , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ season , so let 's see where we are in June and see where we are in February as well . ''
United are winless in three and have scored just one during that run , which included the chastening 3-1 League Cup semi-final first leg surrender to City on Tuesday .
The club has been pilloried by supporters and the media throughout the week but Solskjaer insists he is not about to adopt a siege mentality tactic .
`` It 's not us against the world , '' Solskjaer said .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 's the focus .
We 've got to go game-to-game , improve and get results in the league .
`` We 've had Carabao Cup games , we 've had FA Cup games , and they will be coming up as well , different competitions .
So now we 're ready and focused to play Norwich . ''
Solskjaer was asked whether he had flown to Portugal to watch Sporting Lisbon forward Bruno Fernandes , who was incessantly linked with United in the summer .
Speculation surrounding Fernandes has restarted this month @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they were 'irritated ' with reports they were pursuing the Portugal international .
`` We go back to speculations and we do go and watch games all the time , '' Solskjaer said .
`` When I 've been and where I 've been is irrelevant .
[ Fernandes ] is another player in a different club I ca n't speak about .
`` We 've still got the same thoughts we had a month ago .
We 've got the players we have , we 're working with the ones we have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you .
`` Ca n't say yes or no [ if players will leave ] , but I would n't expect many ins and outs , no . ''
Sergio Romero was not spotted by photographers but is likely to be included .

"It's not a surprise [Maguire's nearly back]. He's a warrior and he wants to play," United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Friday morning. And if there's a minor problem he'll put himself up to play and that's what he did against Wolverhampton.

"At half-time, he was feeling some discomfort, but was adamant he was going to be fine. He was close to playing against City, just not fit enough, but got a chance now."
Scott McTominay is expected to return after United's two-week winter break which starts on February 1. Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Eric Bailly made their comebacks from long-term knee injuries for the Under-23s against Newcastle United at Leigh Sports Village.
"Scott's out for a while," Solskjaer reiterated. "Eric and Tim are playing tonight in reserves, hopefully they'll get through that to be available for us again.
"We won't see [McTominay] before the winter break, hopefully in February." After the visit of Wolves on February 1, United do not play again until they travel to Chelsea on February 17.

Young has agreed terms to join Inter Milan and wants to join the Italian club this month but could have to wait until his United contract expires in the summer. Young rejected United's offer of a new one-year deal.
Inter coach Antonio Conte bizarrely tried to sign Young, 34, when he was Chelsea coach in 2017 but a deadline day move collapsed and Young went onto start 28 Premier League games in 2017-18.
Solskjaer is keen to maintain United's squad size amid their recent injury issues, since United were without Maguire (knock), Scott McTominay (knee), Paul Pogba (ankle) Bailly, Fosu-Mensah (both knee) and Marcos Rojo against Manchester City in midweek.

"He's one of our players," Solskjaer reiterated. "He's our captain. There's loads of speculation and we've just got to handle it - we're getting used to that in club - and Ashley's been very professional and focused, so I don't think that's going to change.
"That (Young's future)'s a discussion that me and Ash will have if something comes up, we haven't got too many players fit and ready, so we need the ones we have.
"Ashley's been very, very good for this club, he's been a very good captain this season, so let's see where we are in June and see where we are in February as well."
United are winless in three and have scored just one during that run, which included the chastening 3-1 League Cup semi-final first leg surrender to City on Tuesday. The club has been pilloried by supporters and the media throughout the week but Solskjaer insists he is not about to adopt a siege mentality tactic.

"It's not us against the world," Solskjaer said. "It's against Norwich now, so that's the focus. We've got to go game-to-game, improve and get results in the league.
"We've had Carabao Cup games, we've had FA Cup games, and they will be coming up as well, different competitions. So now we're ready and focused to play Norwich."
Solskjaer was asked whether he had flown to Portugal to watch Sporting Lisbon forward Bruno Fernandes, who was incessantly linked with United in the summer. Speculation surrounding Fernandes has restarted this month after United sources said in the summer they were 'irritated' with reports they were pursuing the Portugal international.
Manchester United squad vs Norwich:
"We go back to speculations and we do go and watch games all the time," Solskjaer said. "When I've been and where I've been is irrelevant. [Fernandes] is another player in a different club I can't speak about.
"We've still got the same thoughts we had a month ago. We've got the players we have, we're working with the ones we have and if something happens we'll tell you.
"Can't say yes or no [if players will leave], but I wouldn't expect many ins and outs, no."
Confirmed United squad members
David de Gea, Lee Grant, Diogo Dalot, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Phil Jones, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Brandon Williams, Andreas Pereira, Fred, Nemanja Matic, Juan Mata, Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes, Daniel James, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford.
Sergio Romero was not spotted by photographers but is likely to be included.

newsdesk@men-news.co.uk (Samuel Luckhurst, Dominic Booth, Richard Fay)

Manchester United returned to winning ways in the Premier League against Norwich City with a convincing 4-0 victory.
Marcus Rashford latched onto Juan Mata's pass in the first half to give United a 1-0 half-time lead, before the floodgates opened after the break.
Rashford converted a penalty for his 13th Premier League strike of the season — on his 200th appearance for the club — and then Anthony Martial nodded in. Substitute Mason Greenwood then added a fourth after replacing Andreas Pereira, with a typical left-footed effort from distance.
It's a win that relieves the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who will give his reaction to the win at Old Trafford.
United will now turn their attentions to their FA Cup third round replay against Wolves in mid week, before they then face Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League next weekend.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer expects Norwich to "go for it" against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Premier League clash and has warned his players about the Canaries.
The United boss wants to see a reaction from his squad after their woeful 3-1 defeat to Man City in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg in midweek, which compounded a disappointing start to 2020.
United haven't yet picked up a win in the new decade and have only scored one goal, through Marcus Rashford in the second half against City.
They did, however, record a convincing win in the reverse fixture against Norwich earlier in the campaign. It was 3-1 to United at Carrow Road, but could have been a much bigger margin after both Rashford and Anthony Martial had penalties saved.
“Of course we’ve looked at that one, but that was a few months ago now," Solskjaer told United's official app when asked about the previous Norwich clash.
"We’ve got to dust ourselves down and get the disappointment of the last couple of games with Arsenal and City especially out of our heads and be focused and positive and go out there and be ourselves.”
Solskjaer admitted the three-day turnaround between the City and Norwich fixtures wasn't ideal, with some United players struggling with injury and illness. Jesse Lingard is unavailable, so too Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay.
“We’ve not really had too much training time," Solskjaer added.
"Of course the ones who didn’t play, some of them have trained. We had a light session [on Thursday] and [on Friday] we’ll have a preparation session and go through the team and let’s see who comes through it, that’s the most important thing.”
“I expect Norwich to be themselves. They are a team that are very true to Daniel [Farke].
"When he came in he changed quite a bit and they’re going to go for it. We played them down there and did well, but still we know how capable they are of playing their own way. They’re learning in the Premier League and now it’s the second half [of the season] I’m sure they’re going to pick up points, but hopefully not against us.”
