Angry six-year-old boy Hanged himself over parents Divorce

 
Payette, ID – The death of a 6-year-old boy found hanging from a refrigerator has been ruled a suicide, making him the fourth confirmed case of a 6-year-old committing suicide in the U S of A since 2007..
On June 3, the boy was watching cartoons in the living room with his 7-year-old sister. The boy’s mother and stepfather were both home taking a shower. The boy went in to the kitchen and the sister told police she heard her brother...
making noise in the kitchen but did not check on him.
About 20 minutes later she walked into the kitchen to find that her brother had hanged himself by using his belt as a makeshift noose to hang himself from the freezer handle of the refrigerator. The girl screamed and her parents rushed to the kitchen and cut the belt. As the boy’s stepfather performed CPR, the boy’s frantic mother called 911.
Sadly, even the first-responders were unable to revive the boy and he was pronounced dead. The resulting investigation and a coroner’s report concluded that there were no signs of foul play and that the death was a suicide. However, Payette Police Chief Mark Clark pointed out that it is impossible to tell if suicide was the boy’s true intention..
“We’ll never know this,” Clark said. “All this boy did was take a nylon belt and make a noose, put the belt through the handle, stepped up underneath and pulled the belt tight in a way that even if he had wanted to undo it, it would have been nearly impossible.”
Clark said that the noises his sister heard from the kitchen could have possibly been from the boy struggling to get free, but there’s no way to be sure. During interviews with family and school staff, police learned the child had anger issues resulting from his parents’ divorce two years earlier.
What else is there to say about this aside from hoping that this was just an accident. Maybe he was trying to get some attention, or scare his sister. Neither of those two scenarios would take away the fact that a young boy died on his family’s refrigerator, of course, but I like those better than thinking a six-year-old purposely killed themselves in this manner.
