Overview

  • Atreyu McCann, son of Australian actress Clare McCann, died by suicide on May 23, 2025, following prolonged bullying at his school.
  • Clare McCann has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $300,000 to cryogenically preserve Atreyu’s body, with a critical seven-day window for the procedure.
  • As of May 26, the campaign has raised just over $2,700, far short of its goal, with funds also intended for anti-bullying advocacy and legal action if exceeded.
  • McCann alleges that she repeatedly alerted the NSW Department of Education and the school about the bullying, but no action was taken to protect her son.
  • The case has drawn attention to the severe impact of bullying and the controversial practice of cryogenic preservation as a potential avenue for future revival.
