Depression could have led to extreme step
“We are clueless as to what happened… We are searching for possible reasons,” a school trustee told IE. The trustee further said that a medical certificate submitted by the girl’s mother stated she had been suffering from depression and had been on medical leave for a month until about ten days ago. “She was regular to school for the past ten days,” the trustee added.
Authorities plan to continue their investigation on Monday by recording statements from her close friends. The tragic death has raised concerns around mental health awareness and support systems in schools.
