KAT's statement
"Today, 14/05/2026 at 19:54, the 17-year-old student who had been treated in the ICU of our Hospital since 12/05/2026 lost her battle with life. KAT Hospital expresses its sincere condolences to her relatives."
It is recalled that the two 17-year-olds had jumped into the void from the roof of a six-story apartment building in Ilioupoli on Tuesday (12/5). One student was killed on the spot and the second was fighting in the ICU, where she unfortunately ended up.
As police sources reported to protothema.gr, the two friends made the fatal decision together, after having consumed a quantity of vodka. They wrote notes, explaining the reasons that led them there, climbed onto the roof of the apartment building, locked the door, put on headphones listening to music and fell into the void, holding hands.
The first student who expired on Tuesday had left a note in which, according to information, she wrote that she was depressed, that she loved her parents and that they were not to blame for anything. She also mentioned that she thought she would disappoint them because she would not succeed in the national exams. “I don’t want to live in this world,” she concluded.
The police also found a diary in the home of the second 17-year-old who was hospitalized in the KAT, in which she wrote that she was depressed and that she might disappoint her parents with the national exams.
