A Chicago teenager took his own life after being bullied over false claims that he was unvaccinated, and his parents are suing the elite private school he attended, alleging it turned a ‘blind eye’ to the situation.

In a lawsuit filed Monday, Robert and Rosellene Bronstein claim that their son, 15-year-old Nate Bronstein, was "tormented on a regular basis" by students at the prestigious Latin School of Chicago.

The family claims that Nate faced cyberbullying from students at the school just weeks before his death, with one student on the basketball team allegedly telling him to "GO KILL YOURSELF!"

The bullying was allegedly centered around a rumor that Nate was unvaccinated, which the lawsuit claims is false.

The teenager transferred to the Latin School – which charges roughly $40,000 a year in tuition – because of the school’s in-person learning during the pandemic, the suit states. Alums of the elite school include former first lady Nancy Reagan, former U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan II and others, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Nate’s father said he found his son hanging from a shower head, with a cord wrapped around his neck as a noose, at the family’s home on Jan. 13, the suit states.
