This Monday, the Santa Cruz Lyceum confirmed the death of the 16-year-old student who shot himself in the head in the courtyard of the establishment. The young man remained serious for days in the Rancagua Regional Hospital.
“With deep sorrow we inform you that, this afternoon, our student left earthly life“, informed the director of the high school, Verónica Cornejo, through a circular. The campus was with its classes suspended as a result of this fact.
Preliminarily, after reviewing the security cameras, it was determined that there was no third party involvement and that the student himself was indeed carrying the firearm in his bag.
Therefore, the death would be configured as a completed suicide, although the Homicide Brigade of the PDI is in charge of the expertise to determine not only the motive, but also the origin of the gun.
