A 17-year-old high school student in the city of Safi, Morocco, tragically died by suicide on Monday morning after allegedly being caught cheating during the Baccalaureate exams.

The student, who was a student at Hassan II High School in Safi, reportedly jumped from the Ammoni Corniche, a coastal cliff, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Local sources indicated that the student’s actions were likely motivated by the stress of being caught cheating and subsequently having her exam paper confiscated and being expelled from the examination center.
