This is very sad. Do you suppose she was listening to an ipod so loud she could not hear the whistle? Prayers to her family.

Is it really necessary to show a picture of them placing a tarp? Please, show some respect to the family of this girl. They have lost their daughter. They don't need pictures such as this put out for everyone to see, least of all them.

My prayers are with her family

She was a niece of a friend of mine. My prayers go out to both him and his family.

From the way it sounds, this unfortunate incident looks like a suicide. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those involved.

Omg, that is so horrible..

This was a friend of my daughter. According to her, there is a reason she didn't move and that is heartbreaking. I guess there has been trouble in her life for quite some time. This is such a sad thing. I wish peace and comfort for the family and friends. My daughter is so upset, and just doesn't understand.

This is so sad. I have a 17 year old and this
would be so devastating... for her to think
this is the only answer...my thoughts and
prayers are with her family..i am sure they
feel some guilt

Gosh that poor girl. I couldn't imagine. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her loved ones.

[Not in it for the money]

Sincere condolences to all the family and friends. So, so sorry and sad for your loss.

This is so sad and so hard for the families. My nephew killed hisself when he was 20 years old. If there are anymore kids out there that think there is not a way out if anything think of the people you leave behind and how hard it is for them to except that you thought this was the only way out. No matter how low you feel and how lost you feel there is always another way. Taking your life is not the answer. I feel for her family and the unanswered question that they have.

I agree! show some respect to the family of this girl.

Sad.
I cannot imagine the pain this childs family and friends are feeling right now.

If you ever feel like there is no hope please call, 1-800-suicide.
It is toll free, and the counselors are regular people who are ready to help.
There is always someone willing to talk to you. I only wish there had been someone for this girl.

Tragedies can be prevented with a few kind words. Lets all try to use some on this forum.

It's a shame if she was in trouble for some reason and didn't feel she could
talk to her parents. This could have been prevented.

This just breaks my heart to hear what a troubled life she had, what a terrible thing to cause her to do this. My heart and prayers go out to this family!

Oh my gosh! I know a young lady name Samantha Collins, can anyone tell me some of the names of relatives?

[a friendly one]

Praying for this family!
