Jeffrey Peck was an ----academically precocious---- kid who graduated from high school at 11, and from Towson University at 15. He was a profoundly gifted boy who seemed destined for a career in biological sciences. But, at 24, Peck drove to an abandoned elementary school north of Hunt Valley and killed himself with carbon monoxide. His devastated parents set out to learn why their only son had committed suicide. His mother, Dolores Peck, says her son was the victim of cyber-bullying during the last weeks of his life. She tells the story in a published memoir, and on the show today.Links:http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2001-05-11/news/0105110155_1_towson-beta-beta-dundalkhttps://www.facebook.com/agiftedlifecutshortthejeffreypeckstory/
