Today I spoke to the family of Spencer Smith. Smith died by suicide on Friday. His family says he left a note, writing he felt locked in the house and disconnected from his friends due to the pandemic #NEWSCENTERmaine 
Spencer's dad, Jay, says our kids and teens need to be together during this time. He says he wants school boards across the state to allow that, as long as the student feels comfortable #NEWSCENTERmaine
In a recent article from the International Journal of Medicine, it says in part "...from a suicide prevention perspective, it is troubling that the most important public health approach for the COVID-19 epidemic is social distancing." #NEWSCENTERmaine
