On Friday morning, American student Alex F. Jones was found in his home hanging from a noose. His shoes were removed and a suicide note was found alongside the pair.
"I can't take it anymore. I did nothing to deserve this. All I want was respect given back to me. I tried to solve everything. I couldn't. So I'm paying the price. Matt, if you see this, you're on your own now. Tell mom and dad back home that I love them. I did my part well. -Alex F. Jones"
A memorial service was held the following day for the deceased Student Council president.
An election was held to select the next Student Council president and Gilbert Beilschmidt won the position.
