She had been hung from a piece of cloth (scarf) so that her feet were touching the ground. There was vomit and some pills on the floor. It is believed that she first attempted suicide by poisoning, which failed, so she chose another method.
Initially there were fears that she had been murdered, but the place was masked to make it look like a suicide. Her ex-boyfriend was said to have been aggressive and even threatened to kill her. The fact that the woman’s tongue was not protruding, which is common in hangings, added to the fears.
In the end, however, detectives and forensic experts were able to prove that the fears were false and that she had indeed committed suicide. The absence of a protruding tongue was due to the unusual angle at which she hanged herself.
If you’re thinking about suicide, please stop and recognize that your pain is not permanent, but this step would be. It may feel like there’s no other way, but there is hope, even if it’s hard to see right now. Your feelings are temporary, and with help, they can pass.
Talking about what you're going through might feel difficult, but it’s the first step toward healing. Don’t turn away from the people who want to support you. Life can offer more than what you're feeling right now, and the pain doesn't have to last forever. You deserve help, and it’s available.
