California, USA: Pupils arriving back to school following a weekend off were left in shock after finding their teacher hanged in a classroom.
Students at the El Dorado High School in Placentia, California, pulled down the body of popular Jillian Jacobson at 8.30am yesterday.
Paramedics tried to revive the married 31-year-old but were unable to.
Captain Steve Concialdi of the Orange County Fire Authority confirmed she died inside the classroom.
“It’s sad for the students and fellow teachers who witnessed that,” he added.
