What triggered an eight year old to take his own life? Or is too soon to say he did take his own life, since police in Trinidad has started their investigations into this latest tragic incident?
Demario Ragoonanan, was found unconscious, hanging by a curtain in a bedroom, hours after a close female relative complained to doctors that she was hearing voices in her head.
The female relative also attempted to hang herself with a piece of rope, but escaped death after the rope broke, police said.
Relatives took the child for medical attention but he was pronounced dead at hospital.
An autopsy conducted at the Forensic Science Centre, concluded that the child died of ligature strangulation, which was consistent with death by hanging.
Police has detained the female relative and she was taken her for psychiatric evaluation at the San Fernando General Hospital.
By afternoon, doctors deemed her fit to be interviewed by police.
