  • Prestigious Joburg School Reeling After Matric Pupil Dies In Alleged Drinking Accident

    In a tragic end to the school year, a matric pupil from St Stithians Boys’ College has died after allegedly drinking alcohol to celebrate the last day of school before final exams commence.

    The incident occurred last week when Cameron Conlon passed out while drinking with his friends, but none of them noticed he had died because they were helping another friend – who was later taken to hospital in a critical condition – while he was vomiting.

    This from iol:

    The school said the family were waiting for the results of the autopsy, which would determine the cause of death.

    Principal David Knowles said Cameron had been passionate about drama and had recently received his cultural honours in the subject.

    Knowles said the teenager had also received the MacNicol Prize for creativity at Wednesday night’s prize-giving. “He was fun-loving and a good friend to many. We will miss his cheerful smile and his positive attitude,” he added.

    The school issued a statement in which it said: “It is with a profound and deep sense of sadness that we inform you of the passing of one of our Grade 12 students in the Boys’ College, Cameron Conlon, during the night of October 13/14.

    “The St Stithians community is in mourning. We keep Cameron’s family and friends in our thoughts and prayers on this very tragic day.”

    This below from school spokesperson Lethabo-Thabo Royds:

    “The final-chapel ceremony is one of celebration and joy as the school bids farewell to the matrics – a time of many mixed emotions. The shock and sadness of Cameron’s death was very present during the service.”

    The cause of death has yet to be confirmed.
