SILVER CREEK, GA – Katelyn Nichole Davis, 12, live-streamed her personal suicide by hanging final Friday, and the video is about one of the most depressing issues I’ve watched in some time.
Initial news reports stated Katelyn’s physique was discovered with self-inflicted wounds outdoors her home at around six p.m. on Dec 30, 2016. Despite attempts to save her life, she was pronounced dead following being taken to the hospital.
Turns out, Katelyn utilized the Live.me application to live-stream her suicide, and the 42-minute video particulars her hanging herself from a tree. I’m including the video below but be warned, it’s a kid committing suicide.
For all those of you who don’t wish to watch it, the very first half of the video is Katelyn positioning the camera, measuring the rope she attaches to a tree and tends to make adjustments. During this section, the sun is shining and also the ambient neighborhood noises of passing cars, birds and barking dogs can be heard in the background.
She then climbs on leading of a bucket and fastens the noose about her neck. At 21:24, after taking several deep breaths and crying, Katelyn says an anguished “Goodbye” before stepping off the bucket. Now hanging by her neck, Katelyn’s arms and legs start to jerk and kick to get a brief time.
For the remaining 20 minutes of the video, Katelyn’s physique sways in the finish of the rope because the sun goes down, as dogs bark in the background. Following ten minutes or so, you can hear Katelyn’s family calling for her and coming close to finding her on camera. The video ends as the sun disappears and Katelyn’s mobile phone repeatedly rings.
The whole video is as surreal as it is tragic.
As for why Katelyn decided to kill herself, some of her factors may be noticed by checking out her on-line diary and Instagram account. According to her, she was currently on medication for depression, had attempted suicide prior to, was a cutter, and was beaten by her stepfather who she also accused of trying to rape her.
Regardless of the hundreds of calls for us to eliminate the hyperlink to the video, the mass emails, the on-line petitions, threats, etc., I’m removing the video ONLY because we were politely asked to by a detective investigating Katelyn’s death.
I don’t need to, but we’ve by no means done anything to hinder an active police investigation and have, on multiple occasions our members will be much more than happy to speak about, helped in some police investigations.
For all those of you who wanted this video down due to your feelings, or the feelings of the family members, great luck getting it removed from the Internet. It ain’t gonna happen. Ever. The sooner you accept that the much better. Or, for a few of you nutjobs who contacted me, enjoy your new online crusade.
For those of you who are just now seeing this short article without the video, you are able to read the description above, but I wanted to add some particulars for any children who may study this and think of performing the same.
Katelyn’s death was not quick and painless. The way she hanged herself, with the knot at the back of her neck and doing a brief drop, is known as a slow hanging. She felt the discomfort from the rope in her neck as well because the discomfort of her neck stretching. She most likely did not die from asphyxiation, but rather from the rope pinching the Vagal nerve in her neck. This results within the Vagal reflex, which stops the heart.
Sometimes death can be within a couple of seconds – in the event you are fortunate. Katelyn was not lucky – in life, or her selected manner of death. The flopping of her arms individuals mention by no means reached for the noose around her neck was not a sign of determination, it is the symptom of her losing her motor reflexes. I’d envision these arm movements you see WAS her attempt at reaching for the noose.
I’m not stating this to be cruel, I am stating this because it is a cold, hard reality. I didn’t know Katelyn. I don’t know if the accusations she made against her family members were true. What I do know is that she had issues that weren’t addressed. Whose fault that is, I have no clue and not right here to judge. But I felt the video deserved to be noticed.
We have multiple articles on the website regarding kid suicides and in nearly each case, people believe it is fake (which you are able to see in the following comments), that it does not occur, or that it’s murder disguised as suicide. Why? Because some people just cannot fathom a child purposefully blowing their brains out or hanging themselves from a tree. In this case, we had a girl with an active online profile who wanted her suicide to be seen. You see the beginning, the throughout, and also the following.
I felt seeing the cold, difficult truth of kid suicide was better than sanitizing her death due to some people’s feelings. I nonetheless do. Some of you disagree, and that’s your right. I do not censor comments, even when they are negative towards me and the site. In contrast to a lot of places today, I welcome discussion from all points of view – regardless of how retarded some of you act.
But I truly feel that the video being noticed, even if it indicates pain for her buddies and family members, could save lives.
