Why did beloved North Carolina school principal Dr Barry Bowe commit suicide?
There’s a lot to this story that remains a mystery!
Daily Mail reports a principal who described himself as a ‘Renaissance Man’ was found dead in his home Monday night.
Barry Bowe, 54, was fearful that he would be dismissed from his job amid an ongoing investigation from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district over a security incident at a school dance in December.
Only days before, parents at Northwest School of the Arts had launched a collective effort for him to be able to keep his post.
The news of his death shocked students of the Charleston, North Carolina school, who said he was genuinely concerned with their educations and futures.
Dr Bowe had requested a personal day Friday, but was supposed to be at work by Monday morning.
A Charlotte-Mecklenburg school employee went to his house to check on him, calling the police after Dr Bowe didn't answer his door.
A neighbour, who was given a spare key, let police into Dr Bowe’s home, where they discovered his body in the garage.
