UPDATE: Chadil Parson left suicide note on FB page
Parson, if in fact the posts on his Facebook wall were done by him earlier in the day, had sent clear indications of his hurt and intention to end his life. Based on the posts of his Facebook page he was at the brink of frustration which he either vented or was screaming for help.
At approximately 10am his Facebook post read, “Aye I f..king hate this sh.t innuh. Strupes. WHY IT CANT ALL JUST END? You know what I going make it end.”
A friend with the Facebook name keke wuv You, at that stage zeroed in on him when he/she asked him, “U ok? to a response, “Just (F word) fine.” Later another person with the Facebook name Lisa Jno-Lewis sought to comfort him when saying, “Stay strong cuz I love you put it in God’s hands…”
Then at approximately 11:00am the first post was edited which then read, “Death......... so scary yet so peaceful.........so simple but yet misunderstood#lifesucks”
He also apparently posted a gruesome photograph of an angry evil image which also gave an indication of his state of mind at the time.
Malone said that he was at work yesterday when hit with the disturbing news. He said, “I didn’t know what was bothering him, nobody didn’t know what was bothering him. He was generally a strong person. We don’t know what went through the mind. I seeing stuff on Facebook but I don’t know, I don’t know.”
But could the young life have been saved had three persons who respond to his message pressed for further information from him or simply alerted someone? It may be a case that those persons did not expect such a drastic action or never thought that his postings were serious and warranted further interventions.

The Bible says people will become lovers of self....hence the "selfie". Give it a rest. It seems like posts about foolishness receives more "likes" than positive messages. Wake up people.
To Wize Up: You should be ashamed of yourself. A family has just lost a child and all you can do is put politics into it. Where is your heart? The death of this child hits me as if it was my own. I am so saddened and we in this Territory should all be reaching out to the family at this time. There are many other children in this Territory who at some point and time go through some sort of depression and it has nothing to do with politics. We as a community need to be there for each other. It is this child today but who will it be tomorrow. It may be one of your own family. Please stop dragging politics into everything especially in times like this. If you cannot say good, then say nothing!
To the family, pray for his soul and I hope that one day you may find peace.
My heart goes out to the family may God strengthen you in this time of loss.
Please don't play the where were his parents because I'm pretty sure they would have done anything to save their child.
Try talking to someone from the Family Support Network, a trusted church minister, a past school councilor, or someone at the Mental Health clinic. They are trained to handle such matters. There are also several youth councilors who might be able to assist, one that comes to mind is Mr Henderson Tittle. Do what you can to get your friend some help. This is bigger than you.
sound like a sk@@t
He was as sweet they come and tortured beyond measure. Parents heed the decisions u make. Even in their best interest you can hurt your child for life.
