Death of his siblings drives man to hang himself

His family has gotten more than their share of tragedy and misfortune. Imagine having three suicides in a year…all at the same venue.

“On Monday afternoon, Johnson Cielo, 23, hanged himself and it was his mother who found his lifeless body hanging in the bathroom of their house in Barrio Concepcion in Tala, Caloocan,” reports Rey Galupo in The Philippine Star.

The man’s distraught mother later revealed that it had been a year since Cielo’s elder brother committed suicide and just a month after his elder sister took her own life. They had both killed themselves at home as well.

According to the report, Cielo was pronounced dead on arrival at the Jose Rodriguez Memorial Hospital.

Investigators are now trying to determine what pushed all three siblings to commit suicide.
