Why He’s Gone

I’ve heard varying stories from different people and bloggers alike about what happened to that AHS student who died on that ACET weekend.

This is the correct account. I think this would help ease the load of questions to the parents of the young man as well.

The kid was feeling bad that weekend and he was supposed to take the ACET but his dad, who’s also a doctor, wanted to have the examination date moved after his son suffered from a nosebleed. The father brought along the kid to Ateneo so that they could really prove that his son wasn’t fit to take the test and that they weren’t just making an excuse to postpone taking the test because the kid wasn’t prepared. So Ateneo agreed to move the kid’s examination date January 21.

After that, the father brought his son to the hospital to have him confined and examined. It was during that time, father and son were sharing a meal that the kid just stopped all of a sudden and next they knew, he was already dead.

The poor father still has no idea what brought about his son’s death. Virii or something else, that’s for them to find out. I think it’s best that we leave them be.

Seeing his son’s block in school crying over the loss, the father said this (not verbatim):

The class has shed so many tears. The family has shed so many tears as well. I believe he’s somewhere happy and wonderful now and he is happy to see so many people remembering him. I think it’s time to celebrate, to be happy for him.

And so when they brought him out of Ateneo, instead of sad faces, they were all cheering in his memory.
