Turkish citizens found on Thursday evening a child hanged and hung at the door of a cemetery in a district in the Turkish state of Kocaeli, and informed the authorities immediately.
Al-Jisr Turk website revealed the identity of the child, a Syrian named Wael Al-Saud, who is only 9 years old. He hanged himself after facing social rejection at his school because he was Syrian.
