GRANITEVILLE – A Leavelle McCampbell Middle School student tried to commit suicide in a classroom Wednesday by overdosing on prescription drugs.

An art teacher at the middle school on Canal Street said the 14-year-old took close to 50 pills during class around 8:15 a.m. in an attempt to kill herself, according to an Aiken County Sheriff’s Office report. The student was transported to Aiken Regional Medical Center’s emergency room, but there were no details on her condition.

Two students told investigators that the student said she was going to take her “death pills,” then swallowed the cocktail of prescription drugs, according to the report.

The victim’s mother said her daughter takes medication for ADHD and depression.

Cecelia Davidson, associate superintendent for administration, said she was not aware of the incident, but said the guidance and principal staff has protocol for suicide threats or attempts.
