The victim was taken to the Kuwait Hospital in Sharjah.
Preliminary information obtained after investigating the boy’s family indicated that he deliberately threw himself from the balcony of the apartment as a result of psychological pressures and accumulations he was exposed to about school life.
The boy’s family learned about this through a written message he left to his family through the WhatsApp before throwing himself from the balcony.
The photo has been used for illustrative purposes. In his message, he confirmed that the academic pressures on him pushed him to end his life.
He also apologised to them and affirmed that he loved them all.
Meanwhile, the Public Prosecution is investigating the circumstances of the incident after completing the legal procedures to hand over the body and issue the death certificate so that the boy’s family can bury him.
