THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD Rishi Ramkisoon, called ‘Sanjay’, of Lot 162 Hope West Enmore, East Coast Demerara, committed suicide by hanging yesterday.
His father found his dangling body around 06:30hrs when he went to wake him up to prepare for school.

The lad had reportedly awakened earlier, but went back to sleep before his father found him in his room with a sheet tied around his neck.
Neighbours heard his parents scream and rushed to their assistance in the hope of reviving him but he was already dead.
The Golden Grove Secondary School second-former would have celebrated his 14th birthday on July 9.
People from the neighbourhood, including schoolmates and friends, were all pondering the occurrence when the Guyana Chronicle arrived on the scene. Some family members were about to leave with police investigators.
Aunt of the deceased, Anita Ramkisoon admitted she was very shocked by what had happened, and could not believe her nephew is dead. “I’m like his mother,” she said, tearfully.
Relatives are saying they never saw Rishi with a girl; that he and his family are very close; and that he doesn’t want for anything, as everyone in the family works. So the one question on everyone’s lips is: Why did he do it?
Just Sunday, March 30, a 10-year-old boy of Downer Canal, North Sophia was found by his mother hanging from a rope at his home. He, however, managed to survive, and is being treated at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
