STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- In the span of a week, three young Staten Islanders tragically took their lives, including the heartbreaking suicide of a 13-year-old West Brighton boy who says he was bullied.

On Thursday, Daniel Fitzpatrick hanged himself in the attic of his Davis Avenue home, his family told the Daily News. Daniel's older sister found him dead around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, the report said.

Last month, Daniel reportedly penned a letter detailing his struggles with bullying at the Holy Angels Catholic Academy in Brooklyn.

In the letter, he says he was injured after he was forced to defend himself when a couple of kids picked a fight.

"I ended up fighting .... and got a fractured pinkie," Daniel wrote.

Even after the scuffle, the kids, one a former friend, kept bullying him, and the school ignored his complaints, the teen wrote.

"They didn't do ANYTHING!" he said in the letter.

One teacher, he wrote, was kind to him, but even she couldn't stop the abuse.

"She was the nicest teacher," Danny wrote. "She understood and did something but it didn't last."

"I wanted to get out. I begged and pleaded -- eventually I did. I failed -- I failed but I didn't care I was out that's all that matters."

The night before Daniel's death, a 38-year-old woman took her life.

Aracelis Abreu Leung was found unconscious at 7:42 p.m. in the back seat of a Buick SUV parked in the rear parking lot at 66 Old Town Road in Dongan Hills, according to a law enforcement source.

Her husband made the gruesome discovery, police said.

Authorities found suicide notes in the back of the car and a compressed tank of nitrogen, prompting a hazmat response, police said.

She was pronounced dead at Staten Island University Hospital in Ocean Breeze.

According to her obituary, Leung was a graphic designer for kids' and babies' clothing.

"She was a very loving person, always looking out and taking care of others," the obituary said.

On Monday, the body of Joshua Milinazzo, of Bulls Head, was found floating in Raritan Bay off New Jersey by a fisherman at about 10:30 a.m., according to Sgt. Gregory Willliams of the New Jersey State Police.

The 27-year-old father jumped off the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge on Aug. 4, Williams said.

Portions of the bridge were closed that day after authorities found an abandoned vehicle on the Brooklyn-bound side of the span. There was a note left in the front seat, according to an NYPD spokesman.

According to the MTA, the disabled vehicle was found at 4:30 a.m. after an unconfirmed report of a jumper. At about 5:44 a.m., the car was removed and taken into custody by the NYPD's 68th Precinct.

Milinazzo was reported missing from his Bulls Head home that same day, according to an NYPD source.

"Josh was an amazing father, son and brother who served in the US Navy," according to a GoFundMe page set up on behalf of his family.

This is not the first time Staten Island has seen a rash of suicides in a short span.

In early 2015, Laura Fasano, a 37-year-old from Mariners Harbor, died after jumping off the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge a week before a 54-year-old Concord woman, Linda Afriyie, leaped in front of subway train in Manhattan, cops said.

A third woman, 34, who was not identified by police, suffered non-fatal injuries when she jumped from the fourth-floor window of her apartment building in St. George two weeks prior to those incidents.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide was the second-leading cause of death for ages 10-34 and fourth for ages 35-54 in 2014.
