For those who remember the Daisy Coleman case,sad news

Her rape in small town Missouri became international news due to the lack of prosecution. Eventually her story was told in the Netflix documentary Audrie and Daisy.

Her family has posted that she ended her life. I believe there is a GoFundMe for her funeral.

I don't know where to begin.
(Link to the Facebook post by her mother:

“The family had originally moved to Maryville from Albany, Missouri, about 65km away, in 2009 after Melinda's husband and father to her four children, Dr Michael Coleman, was killed in a car crash. They had hoped to make new and better memories than those the town of Albany now held.

Instead, they found themselves at the center of a sexual assault case that shocked the nation.”

“Daisy Coleman, whose Maryville rape case went viral, loses brother in Kansas crash.

In a series of heartbreaking posts on Twitter, she also wrote: “My baby brother is gone. What do I even do. How do I breathe. How do I survive this. Why did god take my best friend?
