thats very sad. i’m led to believe there are a lot more suicides in this area than we would ever suspect. One of the leading causes of deaths of young people in UT is it? Not even sure what to think about it. its terrible.
It is awful and sad for anyone to feel they have to end their own life. Bit it’s just just Utah that has this issue. Suicide is one of the leading cause of deaths in this age group in the United States. So sorry for her family.
bs. utah has one of the worst suicide rates.
