A South African teenage student has reportedly committed suicide.
The boy who is just 17 years old is a student of the Dominican School for the Deaf in Hammanskraal.
Per reports, he committed suicide at the hostel after he allegedly argued with his teenage girlfriend with the incident happening on Wednesday.
His lifeless body was discovered by his schoolmates and the head of the Gauteng Department of Education, Panyaza Lesufi has expressed shock about the development.
Confirming the incident, Lesufi said;
“The boy learner had allegedly left other learners at the dining hall and went to the junior hostel, where he took his life.
His body was discovered by fellow learners, who allegedly untied him and let him down before calling for assistance. Paramedics arrived within 10 minutes but declared him dead on the scene.
It is very unfortunate that a learner decided to take his own life. This is a very sensitive issue to which we firstly wish to convey our deepest condolences to the family of the learner. We also wish to convey our sympathy to the school population for this loss.”
