Dental student burns to death after arriving late for exam
Quote:
Abdul Basit, who was in his final year at Hamdard University in Karachi, died early Tuesday morning from burns he suffered after reportedly setting himself on fire because he was unable to sit an exam he failed seven times before.
He was apparently late after his car broke down.
Distraught over this rejection, the university says he doused himself in petrol and lit himself on fire. He died at a nearby hospital with burns over 95 percent of his body
Parents have blamed the university and say that they are responsible for their sons death. Thoughts?
While we all have to take account for our own actions, the stress of maintaining good grades in college + all the other things a person can be dealing with is what set him off the edge(or in this case set him on fire)

He already failed the exam seven times so he was on a crisis breakdown when he could take it an eight time so he killed himself, the parents should have told their son to relax and maybe trying another career

I had a classmate in middle school that said her father would yell at her if she got a 99 on any assignment. She was supposed to get 100 on everything. Luckily she was a straight A student. I could only imagine what would've happened if she was an average student.
