The death of a girl who died by what her parents call bullycide is raising questions about whether suicide can be attributed to bullying.
Ashawnty Davis, a 10-year-old student at Sunrise Elementary in Aurora, Colo., died Wednesday after spending two weeks on life support at Childrens Hospital Colorado because she had hanged herself in a closet in her home.
The girls mother, Latoshia Harris, told Denver local news affiliate KDVR that after being bullied, her daughter had been further harassed at school after a video of her confronting the female bully was posted to the video app Musical.ly.
I saw my daughter was scared, Harris told the news station. Her father, Anthony Davis, added that the girl was devastated to discover the incident had been shared online.
