A teenage couple from Cincinnati, Ohio have committed suicide just days
apart and it turns out they left suicide notes and a video on social
media before carrying out the act.
18-year-old Mercedes Shaday
Smith and 17-year-old Markeice “Mari” Brown had been known as a couple,
so when Mercedes killed herself in her dorm room at Lindsey Wilson
College in Columbia, Kentucky last Thrusday,
her friends believed Mari
contributed to his girlfriend’s suicide so they harrassed him online
because of it. The harrassment, along with the grief of losing Mercedes,
drove Mari to take his life on Saturday.
Mari
shared a note and a farewell video on Facebook Live before committing
suicide. It can be gleaned from Mari’s suicide note that Mercedes was
pregnant at the time of her death and they had plans to “go out
together.”. He also revealed in the note that her family would not let
him go to her funeral so he decided to go and see her in the afterlife.
A
number of Facebook commenters have referred to their story as a modern
day Romeo and Juliet tale, while others have posted tributes, saying
they were inseperable and no one could fill the space Mercedes’ demise
left in Mari’s heart so he joined her and they are now inseperable.
Below are more photos of the couple, the suicide note and video that Mari shared on Facebook.
