The deceased has been identified as Ranjith, a class X student of St Joseph High School.
He ended his life by hanging himself at his residence at Jayanagara near Jalligudde , here. He was the second son among the three children of Raghava Poojary and Jayanthi couple.
The student took this extreme step a day after appearing for Mathematics examination. He was supposed to appear for Science examination on Thursday.
It is learnt that the door of Ranjith's room was closed from inside for a long time. When he did not respond for any call, the family members climbed on the roof and removed the tiles only to witness the dead boy hanging from the ceiling fan.
The boy had used his mother's saree to end his life.
Sources closed to Ranjith's family said that Ranjith had left a death note expressing his fear over forthcoming Science examination. Interestingly the death note instructed that his last rites be performed by his beloved aunt's 4-year-old son Kripala.
A case has been registered at Mangalore Rural Police Station.
