“It is alleged that the boy drank poison on Tuesday and was admitted to a local hospital. Unfortunately, he died on Thursday after the medical team advised the family that the life- support machine that was keeping the boy alive was to be switched off,” said Lesufi.
“Sadly, we were informed by family that this was actually a second attempt after he survived the first one last year.”In recent days, the education department has reported the deaths of a 13-year-old pupil from Springs Boys' High School who committed suicide at home, a grade 8 pupil who died after being struck by lightning and a grade 10 pupil who was stabbed to death.
“Since the beginning of the academic year 2020, unfortunately this is the 22nd learner death to be announced,” Lesufi said on Friday. The department's psychosocial team will on Monday visit all affected schools to offer support and counselling.
Just goes to prove that you can't stop anybody from inflicting harm!
Is it me or I'm just drunk, he attempted or he died.
