So very, very sad. I can't imagine being that destitute and helpless at 9 years old.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Not the way I would try to get out of school.

Think this was an accident.

The head of department for education in KwaZulu-Natal Nkosinathi Sishi said on Tuesday night that it had happened in front of his classmates.

“He had a piece of string with a plastic end, similar to ones used in a raincoat. It was wound around his neck, through a desk and tied to a window,” he said.

Sishi, who was at the school all afternoon after the incident, said the other children had been unaware that their friend was in any distress when he disappeared under his desk.

“No one thought that anything had happened or was wrong when he didn’t reappear.”

When the boy was found he was still alive but battling to breathe. Teachers took him to a nearby hospital, but he died soon afterwards. His family were at the school on Tuesday.

Yeah I remember being that age, trying to be MacGyver and almost injured myself if it weren't for my mom's intervention.

Condolences to the kid's family.

That's so sad

 

[Seriously]

Man these stories really need to get their headlines straight.

What's wrong with the heading?

The heading say that the boy hanged himself, which by all means is true as it seems nobody else hanged him and details were also very lacking!. The rest was your imagination jumping to conclusions!

All in our minds as that was also what I thought at first, shows you to read first before ass-suming.

Still nothing wrong with the header.
