S16: “Kuper Island” E4: What happened to Richard?

Richard Thomas was smart, kind and well-loved. He was having no
problems in school and he wanted to go further in education. Then
inexplicably, days before his graduation, he’s found dead in the
Kuper Island school gym. His death was ruled a suicide — with no
further questions as to why. We piece together a portrait of the
teenager through his own writings, and find an old coroner’s report
that raises more questions than answers about how Thomas died. For
