Erin Gallagher was only 13 when she decided to take her own life due to cyberbulling she was experiencing on the website ask.fm (which seems to be the website for cyberbullies..)
Gallagher's death is the "third high-profile apparent suicide linked to cyberbullying in a matter of weeks," the Irish Examiner writes.
Earlier this month, Canadian teen Amanda Todd committed suicide after enduring years of being bullied online and offline. In a YouTube video posted in September, Todd described being blackmailed, taunted and assaulted by online acquaintances and schoolmates alike.
Just six weeks ago, another Irish teen, 15-year-old Ciara Pugsley, took her own life after "being bombarded with hate messages" on ask.fm.
Erin was found by relatives Saturday, and only 24 hours after telling her cyberbullies she intended to commit suicide.
A Facebook page has already been started as a tribute. Her older sister Shannon poster, "I love you darling. It's so hard to say you're gone. Everyone's heartbroken. I couldn't have asked for a better sister. You were a stunning girl. No one deserved what you went through," she wrote. "I'm sorry that I couldn't prevent it. Love you with all my heart."
