W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax was rocked this week by its third student death of the year in what appears to be a suicide.

The 17-year-old junior was found lying on a parking deck at the Northern Virginia Community College’s Annandale Campus on Tuesday night, according to Officer Don Gotthardt, a spokesman for the Fairfax County Police Department. No weapon was involved, and the student’s car was found on a higher level of the deck, a sign that the student may have jumped.
