Honolulu, Hawaii – Residents of a Makiki apartment building heard the screams of a woman early Monday morning. “We heard her scream, a woman’s voice,” said apartment resident Clarita Antonio. “When my great-grandson said what’s that somebody fall down.” Upon investigating, they found the body of a 10-year-old girl laying broken in a grassy area of the apartments a few feet from a seldom-used stairwell. She had fallen from the fifth or fourth floor. She was rushed to the hospital but died shortly afterward from multiple internal injuries. On Wednesday, the city Department of the Medical Examiner has concluded that the girl took her own life. Investigators have found a suicide note but have not revealed the contents. Her father is the manager of the 11-story building and the girl has a younger sibling. Her parents were home at the time of the incident. I don’t know about any of you, but it is hard enough for me to wrap my brain around a 10-year-old girl coming to the conclusion that suicide – by jumping no less – was her only option. Click on for video from the report of her death, but before the suicide conclusion had been ruled.
