Police Are Investigating The Death Of A 25-Year-Old Woman After She Got Encouragement From A 'Pro-Choice' Suicide Website
Police in Pennsylvania are investigating the death of a 25-year-old woman after her family alleged that members of an online suicide forum provided her with instructions and encouragement to kill herself.
Shatto's mother, Jacqueline Bieber, took screenshots of her daughter's now-deleted thread on the forum and shared some of them on her Facebook page. Authorities are now analyzing the"digital evidence" surrounding Shatto's death to"determine if a criminal act occurred," Newberry Township Police Chief Steven Lutz told BuzzFeed News on Friday.
However, Shatto's family said it is determined to raise awareness about the dangers of such online suicide forums. Bieber said that Shatto had been diagnosed with depression and social anxiety after she began her first year of college. The disclaimer says that all the information provided on the forum is"for educational purposes only."Bieber said that the website's"pro-choice" description upsets her.
Marquis then criticized Shatto's family for"demonization of this forum" on social media."To say that this forum 'murdered' this member is false," he said.
