Second Parkland Shooting Survivor Dies of Apparent Suicide

A second student who survived the Parkland school shooting died in apparent suicide Saturday night, the Coral Springs Police Department confirmed, less than a week after a 19-year-old woman who survived the shooting that left 17 people dead killed herself.

The latest student, who has only been officially described as currently attending Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, died Saturday and the death was being investigated as a suicide, Coral Springs police told The Daily Beast.

Broward County Commissioner Michael Udine, whose district includes Parkland, told The Daily Beast that the victim is a 17-year-old boy who was a sophomore at the high school.

It will be up to the Broward County medical examiner’s office to determine an exact cause of death. The Miami Herald first reported the student's death.

“The investigation is still going,” police spokesman Officer Tyler Reik told The Daily Beast, adding that police department detectives “are working with the family.”
