CMC - Prime Minister Phillip Davis says he is “heartbroken” after 16-year-old St Augustine’s College student, Madeline Thompson, plunged to her death after she fell from the 27th floor of a hotel while attending an international robotics competition in Central America over the last weekend.

“Ann and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Madeline Thompson, a bright and beloved student of St Augustine’s College, whose life ended far too soon while representing her school and country in Panama,” Davis said in a statement posted on social media. 

“We extend our deepest condolences to her parents, Jerome and Shenique Thompson, her family, friends, classmates, teachers, and the entire St Augustine’s College community.
