The St Catherine North police are investigating a case of suspected suicide after a teenager was found hanging at his home yesterday.

Dwayne Huntley, 19, of Fairfield Crescent, of Friendship Meadows, Spanish Town, St Catherine, was found hanging from a grille in his home .

Police reports are that about 1:20 p.m., they were called to the Huntley's home. Upon their arrival, Huntley's body was found hanging from a grille suspended from a piece of electrical cord.

Investigation is being conducted by the Spanish Town police.

The Star was informed that a relative of the deceased was outside tending to someone's hair when the gruesome find was made.

Residents who were at the scene gave THE STAR different views about Huntley's personality.

"He was cool. He was a bit disruptive and abusive to some persons close to him, but otherwise, he was an all right person," a resident said.

Others say he was a person who was always standing at the corner.

It was the consensus that the deceased had emotional problems and he was simply fed up with conditions affecting him.

His visibly shaken mother who could only respond "Lawd Jesus" was seen among person who converged on the scene.
