Shockwaves from the death of the Irish teenager who killed herself earlier this month are still rippling through South Hadley, the Massachusetts town where she lived, as the community struggles to come to terms with her death and with what caused it.
“It’s tremendously emotionally draining on the family and the whole community right now,” said South Hadley Police Chief David LaBrie in the British Daily Mail. “It’s such a sad thing.” Prince was just 15 years old when she committed suicide on Thursday January 14th. Her younger sister, who found her, was 12.
LaBrie is assisting the Northwest District Attorney’s office’s investigation into Prince’s death. “We are looking at all factors,” he added.
Shocking revelations about the bullying Prince endured have recently emerged. Shortly before she took her life someone sent her a text message saying: “Go kill yourself.”
