270 words summarising my existence as a human being (suicide note)

His Name is Kai Kwasi Achegani Thorne. He was born in Guildford hospital. June 20th 1999. His Mother is English and His Father is Ghanaian but he lived in England for most of his life.

He was a definitely a happy child. Always super imaginative, and excited by everything, which always got him in trouble and is probably why his mum put him in theatre.

He grew up in Westminster and moved to Lewisham in year 3. After primary school he attended a performing arts secondary school and after that he joined BRIT

His favourite project that he worked on would likely have been Homegrown, through the NYT despite its cancellation and the controversy surrounding that. It changed his way of thinking and gave him the opportunity to work with some truly amazing people.

He liked to think that he was funny. It made him happy when he could make someone else smile or laugh because that was his goal. Happiness. When he was happy about something he was bouncing off the walls making jokes but when He wasn’t… he was bouncing around and joking about it anyway.

He really liked art not just paintings art but ART. Films, TV shows, music, performances in general. Making them, taking part in them or just experiencing them, that is how he wanted to spend his life. Weather he was good at any of it is a completely different question. He didn't at all mind being a rubbish artist who's happy doing what he's doing. Because that was his end goal. Happiness.


On the 8th of December 2015 Kai committed suicide by hanging
