not to make light of a suicide attempt but damn you gotta be pissed about something ....
CMU Police reported a 20-year-old male CMU student attempted suicide Wednesday in the Robinson Residential Restaurant.
The student stabbed himself in the head several times with a fork, police say.
The student, whose name was not released by authorities, stabbed himself at about 2:06 p.m. during an afternoon lunch in the residential restaurant.
CMU Police Chief Stan Dinius said several students have attempted suicide during the years but this incident was highly unusual.
Dinius said the student is physically OK but is seeking external help for other problems. Police are investigating to determine whether drugs were a factor in the incident, which is just one of four attempted suicides reported in the residence halls since January, he said.
Trenton sophomore Anthony Ciarlo, president of Robinson Hall Council, said he noticed the student sitting with four females Wednesday. Ciarlo said all eyes turned to the student when he slammed a drinking glass down, making a loud, shattering noise that echoed throughout the crowded cafeteria.
“Nothing ever captured the attention of the cafeteria like this before,” he said.
Ciarlo said the four females then left the student sitting at the table where he stayed with his head down for about two minutes. He then abruptly stood up and began rapidly stabbing himself in the temple region.
