A tragic story about a teenage couple from Ohio committing suicide just days apart has gone viral on Facebook.
Details surrounding the suicides is yet to be known, but according to online
reports, 18-year-old Mercedes Shaday Smith took her life in her
college dorm room in Columbia, Kentucky on Thursday (Apr. 20), and her
boyfriend, Markeice “Mari” Brown ended his life on Saturday (Apr. 22).
Apparently, Smith’s friends believed that Brown contributed to his
girlfriend’s suicide and they harassed/bullied him online, which, along
with the grief of losing his girlfriend, drove him to commit suicide
just days later.
The entire situation is being heavily discussed on Facebook and has
sparked a serious discussion about suicide awareness and depression.
More details will be posted shortly as more details unfolds.
