Forty-two year-old Simone Back announced her intention to commit suicide in a status update on her Facebook page.
According to the Daily Mail, Back, who committed suicide on Christmas Day, wrote in her Facebook status, “Took all my pills be dead soon bye-bye everyone.”
What followed was a series of callous posts from some of Back’s Facebook friends “Some of the Facebook friends posted messages calling her a liar and one said it was ‘her choice’.
Seventeen hours later, police broke down the door of Back’s flat on Montague Street, in Brighton, and found her dead.
Back’s mother told the Daily Mail that none of her daughter’s online friends attempted to help her in person.
Back is not the first to announce her intention to commit suicide via Facebook. In 2010, a Rutgers University student, Tyler Clementi, who posted a status update on Facebook that read “Jumping off the gw bridge sorry” and his body was found soon after in the Hudson River.
