Body of Nigerian girl who committed suicide in US has been found

The body of 17 year old Nigerian-American high school student, Omotayo Adeoye (pictured left), was found on Tuesday June 3rd, five days after committing suicide by jumping off the George Washington bridge into the Hudson River.

Her body was found floating few meters away from where she had jumped off the bridge into the river on the afternoon of May 29th. The police department’s Harbor Unit and Riverside Drive fished her out of the water. She was declared dead by emergency medical service officials.

Reports say Omotayo decided to take her own life after she was caught cheating during a difficulty German Language examination by her teacher at the high school of Math, Science and Engineering in Manhattan. She was reportedly brought out and disgraced in front of her peers. Supposedly ashamed of her actions and the humiliating consequence, she immediately left school with the intention of killing herself and also left a suicide note behind which read "I just want to go away forever on the bottom of the river.”.

According to school officials, Omotayo was a student who scored high grades in class....

dear Linda, attempted suicide would be appropriate where the girl tried to kill herself and failed...in this case she is already dead so it is "committed" suicide....U're welcome.

She's dead and you still call it an attempted suicide? She didn't attempt it she actually did commit suicide

There is no R.I.P for such a soul who decides to take his or her own life that she did not create. If you don't know what to write in an exam stand up and leave. It is not a do or die affair. Now the devil that pushed her to cheat ran away and left her standing alone while she was shamed in front of every body at school. Young friends, never give in to the devil because he will never STAND by you when trouble he designs comes upon you. Do what is right by all means even though its hard for you. Good things don't come EASY. CHOOSE JESUS CHRIST TODAY!!!

Evelyn the teacher cannot leave with the guilt because he/ she is not responsible for the students action. The motto of my high school is " not for school but for life" this means that we are trained not only for our today but for our tomorrow so that we can also train our children when we become parents to be good and honest people who will make us proud where ever they go. I hope you are not saying that you subscribe to cheating and double standard because she has just painted this country black the more.

Rest in peace Omotayo,As for the teacher,ARE YOU NOW HAPPY WITH YOUR LIFE ? I HOPE THEY ELECT YOU THE PRESIDENT OF YOUR STATE.NONSENSE !

So unfortunate, suicide for something so common in our society. May her soul rest in peace but I do not approve of suicide, it is a coward's way out.

How can the teacher disgrace and humiliate her bf her peers. Just bcos she is a Nigerian

Don't you mean the girl who "committed" suicide? Attempted would imply that she tried but did not succeed.

The teacher did nothin wrong,I think bringing her out is a way of teling her wat she did was wrong,so others will learn frm her mistake.taking her own life wasn't d teacher's fault.it was very wrong of her.she is got a case to settle wit God almighty.

Its the pressure most intelligent people face. They always need to perform due to high expectations. Sad. She didnt have back up and someone to advise her. Pls learn from this. Tell your friends and kids that if they dont score hundred or 10 over 10, you would still love them.

I had a nice conversation with a hypocrite at the Riverside station. There's more to this story. And when the truth's out, the hypocrites shall lose miserably.

So why cant u just teLl us what the convo was about?abeg go and park somewhere.mtscheeeew.

6tin said...

Wow !!! Now who lost. And how on earth did she just leave the school immediately for the bridge? She scored high grades in school, which means she cheats normally or she didn't cheat at all. Anyways I feel she is a coward who cannot take responsibility of situations. I think there is more to the story, nigerians don't have the mindset of suicide, expecially that she's yoruba. R.I.P to her.

Nawa o, dis gal no b Nigerian abeg,we no fit kill ourselves bcos our teacher embarrass us,may she rest in peace

Bringing her out in from of the whole class is totally wrong. There is something called privacy, the teacher should have reported her to the appropriate office after catching her cheating not disgracing her in front of the whole class.

The teacher who initiated the shaming should be jailed. What was the basis for shaming her? According to this report, she was a bright kid. See How backward the western world is in this age!
