About
The suicide of Rehtaeh Parsons was a Canadian incident reportedly related to sexual humiliation and bullying. Parsons,(/rəˈteɪ.ə/, rə-TEY-ə), a 17-year-old (December 9, 1995 – April 7, 2013) former Cole Harbour District High School student, attempted suicide by hanging on April 4, 2013, at her home in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada, leading to a coma and the decision to switch her life support machine off on April 7, 2013. Her death has been attributed to online distribution of photos of an alleged gang rape that occurred 17 months prior to her suicide, in November 2011. On a Facebook page set up in tribute to her daughter, Parsons's mother blamed the four boys who allegedly raped and released images of her, the subsequent constant "bullying and messaging and harassment", and the failure of the Canadian justice system, for her daughter's decision to commit suicide.
