The shock wave is felt in all the squadrons of the Royal Military College (RMC) in Kingston. A cadet took his own life Wednesday, May 6 in terrible circumstances.
It was about 15 pm Wednesday when Officer Cadet Sage Fanstone, Squadron 12, 2nd year student of engineering, was thrown from the top of a building on Ontario Street, Kingston. The city police arrived at the scene a few minutes later to assist emergency medical services already present and could only note the death of the young man.
The spokesman of the Kingston Police, Constable Steve Koopeman, 45eNord.ca assured that it was not a criminal act. An investigation by the coroner's office is open.
The cadet was arrested yesterday by the military police, which has not yet given any further details. Admitted to hospital in mental health service thereafter, he had just been released just before going into action.
His death comes after several cases of attempted suicide at the Royal Military College of Canada, according to information from 45eNord.ca.
A native of British Columbia, Sage Edward Fanstone would celebrate its 20th anniversary on May 18.
