A SCHOOLBOY'S DEATH.
WORRIED BY AN EXAMINATION. [by TELEGRAPH. association.] . Chbistchurch, Sunday. The supposed suicide of a schoolboy at. Leithfield is reported. The facts are stated to be that the body of Cyril Moore, 14 years of age, who resided with his grandparents, was found in a waterhole at Leithfield at nine p.m. yesterday by a farmer named McLean. On October 31 the boy attended an examination at Amberley. On his return home his grandmother (Mrs. Franks) asked him to go and get her some water. He appeared at the time to be very much worried over his examination, and informed Mrs. Franks that he thought that he had failed. Ho did not return with the water, but his grandparents were not anxious about his disappearance, as he was in the habit of going away to relatives, who reside at Omihi. When the body was found, it was clothed in boots, trousers, and shirt. The police authorities state that it appears to be a case of suicide.
