Father Marks Year Since Death Of Son, Schooled In Bryn Mawr, In Heartbreaking Post

By KARA SEYMOUR

It has been one year since Cayman Naib was found dead of suicide at the age of 13.

Cayman, an eighth-grade student at The Shipley School, left his Newtown Square home and was found dead four days later a few hundred yards from his home. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Naib's father, Farid, noted the anniversary in a heartfelt and emotional Facebook post.

"Today is the one-year anniversary of the day my 13 and ¾ years old son committed suicide. I think about him every day and dream about him many nights. I don’t have any answers to the questions that I have. My days are full of grief," Naib wrote on the Facebook page "Celebrating Cayman."

Cayman's father said the past year has made him realize two things: teen impulse suicides do happen and guns make suicide attempts much more likely to be successful. "I will continue to work with the Brady group to get this message out to responsible parents who are gun owners," he said.

In September, Naib appeared in a campaign by the gun control group Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

"I miss Cayman every day. I miss seeing him turn 14. I will miss seeing him turn 15. I will miss him for the rest of my life," Naib said, concluding his post.

As of Sunday night, the post has received nearly 5,000 likes on Facebook and more than 900 shares.
