Jotham Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Quote Rezwan Kohistani was promised a new life when he escaped the conflict in Afghanistan, fleeing to the Joplin area last fall with his parents, three brothers and five-year-old sister. But that new chapter did not last long. On May 5, the 14 year old was found dead near a baseball field at Webb City High School in an alleged suicide. Webb City police continue to investigate the circumstances. According to Webb City R-7 School District Superintendent Tony Rossetti, the freshman was discovered on the district’s property by a staff member. Police were dispatched to the school, where Kohistani was found dead upon their arrival, said Webb City Police Chief Don Melton. There were no initial signs of foul play and the body was transported to Springfield for an autopsy. He said the department expects results from the report in six to eight weeks. Rossetti said students and staff were notified the day of the Kohistani’s death and counselors were provided for support. In the days since his death, community members have searched for answers. Few knew the family well, but those familiar with the Kohistanis said they struggled with English and kept to themselves. Some believe the death was a product of bullying, as the Kohistanis were quickly labeled as one of the only Muslim families in the district. Others have pointed to the weight of starting over that the teen carried on his shoulders. Read more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
