In a similar incident, a 15-year-old boy hanged himself to death after posting a cryptic farewell message to his friends on Snapchat. Kian Southway of Rhondda, Wales, was disturbed due to the stress of not being able to appear for exams, the nationwide lockdown due to the global pandemic and his relationship with a girl.

His parents found him hanging in his room after they were alerted by one of his friends who saw the message on Snapchat that read "Goodbye Everyone." Kian was immediately rushed to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
