A third-year student at Morocco’s National Institute of Statistics and Applied Economics died by suicide on Monday, days before he was due to defend his graduation project, student sources told Hespress.
The student, identified by initials A.M., was enrolled in the applied statistics and big data program. A source from the institute’s student association said he had been missing during the day before he was found dead later that evening. The circumstances leading to his death remain unclear.
A Hespress source ruled out academic pressure as an apparent cause, saying the student had completed previous semesters and was preparing to present his final-year research next week.
Other student sources said the student had previously posted a social media story suggesting suicidal thoughts.
