>>I know of no cases whereby an adult committed suicide over a purely platonic and chaste relationship with a minor.??

OK, is there something *more* I don't know? We can say The suicide *involved* the minor, since he had abducted her, but you hadn't yet asserted that it was *over* the minor. Is it plausible the teacher, in his own sick way, saw himself as desperately reaching out to someone, not jaded by adulthood, as someone who "could understand" his "pain"? Was there anything to indicate that the student had been his *focus,* and not merely someone he thought would empathize with him?

From what I have been told by students, they had been caught "necking" in the school building more than once. That is reportedly why he was previously on probation. Reportedly after a repeated offense he was placed on suspension just prior to his suicide. Students claim there was more than just "necking" to their relationship.
