The body of a 16-year-old Corentyne girl was yesterday discovered hanging in her bedroom by an uncle who had gone to wake her.
Dead is Dhampatt Rampersaud of Number 62 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
According to reports the teen lived in the bottom flat of her uncle’s home. Around 6 yesterday morning the uncle went to wake her as he usually did when he was leaving for work. His knocks on the bedroom went unanswered and he subsequently broke down the door. He discovered the teen hanging close to the doorway.
The police were informed. The body was subsequently removed by undertakers attached to the Persaud’s Funeral home and taken to the Skeldon Hospital mortuary.
i don’t no how come all these bloggers stop at the same intersection and almost have the answer for the young girl’s death we don’t know what is the cause let us all wait till s/news give us more info. then we could make aquisition.
ah come on, we only ROARing not BITING.
This girl was a student at Tagore Memorial Secondary. She was a very quiet girl and had few friends. Her correct name is Doumattie Rampersaud. She has been living with her uncle for a while since her mother left her and her father is living home with another woman. Thus, the poor child was left to live with her uncle.
The child, who had on an Indian outfit at the said time, took off her shawl and hung herself.
The school has since not even gathered as a body to pay respects to the girl. Not even a black flag was put up and no minute of silence! How abt that!
If you knew her that well, why were’t you her friend? If it bothers you so much that no one else is mourning her then do something about it. Gather your friends and say a few prayers for her, light a few candles. Attend her funeral and take some flowers. Be proactive instead of outraged.
Thanks for the details corentyne girl so we could have a broader understanding of this young girl’s passed, all this commotion in this girl life…her mother abandoning her, her father living with a next woman.. The Lord going deal with them when he ready. And ashame on that school no respect for the death of there student that attend there even though she tookk her own life…
Tagore! That’s a school I visited on many occasions over the recent years to assess teachers there. Shame on that school for not showing sympathy! SHAME! I’ve always told teachers that they don’t know what their students are going thru’ at home and that they must always be kind to the students as many of them don’t have good parents. SHAME ON YOU TAGORE TEACHERS!
im her cuz. she was my cousin that i nvr got to meet. how do u know all this though are u a friend of hers?
may she rest in peace, for the father knows she wasn’t living in peace….everyone got something to say i wonder what next????
agree with u
We r all our brother’s/sister’s keepers, never mind the reason, we knowing the reason/s would not return her to this world.
It takes a village also to train a kid, that’s not happening, as soon as female teenager takes their life, persons starts mentioning, maybe “pregnant,”we need to stop procastinating, if what was mentioned about the mother leaving and father leaving to live with another woman is the problem or cause, none of us here knows the real reason.
Whatever is the reason, I hope parents, relatives and the school system would try to be more attentive to kids.
A kid not attending school regularly, grades falling, lateness, attire, (need for proper clothes and shoes,) falling asleep in class, fighting, being disrespectful to teachers and other students, are warning signs,that there are problems arising from somewhere, therefore, teachers should have proper tools to find out these problem/s, and not count on parents and families alone.
Ministry Of Education should become involved with kids that needs help, to cope and find a solution of this growing epidemic, as monkey see, monkey do attitude would become widespread, if not uprooted STAT.
I hope parents would not allow another kid to suffer alone in distress, without doing what they were placed on this earth to do, that is to be a “PROPER PARENT,” being poor is not a crime.
Don’t you think teachers are not told that in training college. There are told all that. But when they finish their training and go back to their schools most of them revert to the old ways.
