A second student who survived last year’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, has apparently died by suicide, police confirmed.
The juvenile, whose name has not been released, died by an “apparent suicide” on Saturday night, Coral Springs police spokesman Tyler Reik told HuffPost. The deceased was a current student at the high school.
Detectives and the county medical examiner’s office are continuing to investigate the matter, Reik said.
The student’s death comes after the family of another survivor of the shooting, 19-year-old Sydney Aiello, confirmed Friday that she died by suicide after struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and survivor’s guilt. The February 2018 shooting by a former student killed 17 people and injured over a dozen others.
Aiello had been close friends with Meadow Pollack, a Stoneman Douglas senior who was fatally shot during last year’s massacre.
David Hogg, a prominent Parkland shooting survivor turned gun violence activist, shared his grief on Twitter Sunday.
“How many more kids have to be taken from us as a result of suicide for the government / school district to do anything?” the 18-year-old tweeted.

Broward County Public Schools did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Though the details surrounding the second student’s death remain unclear, Dan Reidenberg, executive director of suicide prevention nonprofit SAVE, told HuffPost that PTSD and survivor guilt can be a factor in such situations.
“Teens facing graduations, proms, other major life events knowing that their friends will not be there due to the mass shooting can be really re-traumatized by life events,” he told HuffPost in an email.
Reidenberg said it’s important for adults, teachers and peers to understand youth suicide warning signs, which include changes in academic performance and statements of feeling like they don’t deserve to be alive.
“We need to try and minimize risk of contagion given the situation and media attention around the suicides,” he said. “We don’t want to create panic or fear that this will keep happening, while making sure people know to reach out for help if they are struggling.”

Wonder if the “unnamed “ individual will ever show up on the FBI’s list of dead people in that county
Unlike all those they say died at the event ?
No one committed suicide
And if there was one , it had nothing to do with this gun grab false flag
Maybe someone that knows the truth had to be silenced?
They’re going to mark it down as highway death in order to push up those numbers to achieve some bullshit highway money allotment.
“Survivor’s guilt” has taken on a whole new meaning, hasn’t it? She holding out for more and her liabilities outweighed her assets? Maybe a different kind of guilt?
Regardless, it’s easy to survive something that didn’t happen.
“… she died by suicide after struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and survivor’s guilt.”
The stress of all that lying was bound to take it’s toll on a few, at least.
Or not.
The suicides could be nothing more than b.s. to reinforce the fake narrative.
It’s what they do best.
Just more lies
No one died at Parkland
And no one died because of something that didn’t happen
Now on the other hand
Did all of these kids disappear and end up fodder for the Clinton foundation and Podestas pedo buddies ?
How do you fake a bunch of deaths so there’s no multiple kidnapping cases all in one area at one time ?
Think outside the box they build around your mind
Even if what supposedly happened at Parkland actually did happen, one does not commit suicide just because of some so-called “guilt” in surviving! Ridiculous! But why can the “news” pump out this garbage? Because so many Americans are believing this garbage and can no longer put their heads on straight. As for suicide due to having witnessed a “violent” act (bogus or not), why do so many GIs commit suicide? Because one day they wake up and realize their so-called military “missions” did noting but murder innocent civilians while in “service” to only the criminal psycho elites.
“DEAD MEN CANT TALK”
NEITHER CAN DEAD PARKLAND “SURVIVORS”
So much is in the timing. This morning, this:

Getting rid of the witnesses …… I wonder if she was going to testify against the Clintons for something?
