Family mourns transgender teen after he takes his own life - 10News.com KGTV ABC10 San Diego

A local family is grieving after another transgender teen took his own life.

It's the fourth such suicide in San Diego County since March.

“I can’t even begin to describe the pain of losing a child,” said Sarah Castle.

Emmett Castle, 14, was sensitive, owned a big heart and a quiet maturity.

“He had a wisdom beyond his years,” said Castle.

On Saturday morning, Castle learned her son took his own life at her ex-husband's Mission Valley home.

Family members say there were no immediate warning signs. Emmett had friends, and was looking forward to getting his name legally changed later this month.

Since March, three other local transgender teens have committed suicide.

“There's nothing to make of it. It's tragedy. Just tragedy,” said Castle.
