Painful:16 yr old Boy commits suicide in Essex over poor GSCE result

Just hours after collecting his GSCE (General
Certificate of Secondary Education) exam results,
16-year-old school boy Temidayo Joseph was
found dead.
His school, Ockendon Academy, near Thurrock
Essex, made the sad announcement hours ago.
According to the Daily Mail, Temidayo was a
talented footballer and athlete, and was in school on
Thursday to collect his results.
The cause of death is yet to be ascertained, but it is
said not to be suspicious.
A pupil however said that they all felt a lot of
“pressure” to pass their exams.
The school released a statement on its website
about his death:
“It is with great sadness we have to tell you of
the death of one of our students, 16-year-old
Temidayo Joseph.
We wish to extend our deepest sympathy for
Dayo’s family, friends and the whole school
community at this difficult time.
To help people come to terms with this tragic
event, the academy will offer its fullest
support and counselling.
Of course our thoughts and prayers are with
the family at this time.
The Academy will be open on Saturday 23rd
August from 9am to 11am for those members
of our community who wish to pay their
respects to Dayo Joseph.”
