11-year-old girl left suicide note with friend and sent text message to mom before jumping off bridge
The 11-year-old pupil, Ursula Keough, was described as 'clever but a little bit dark' and died from a head injury as a result of falling from a height, a coroner ruled
Eleven-year-old Ursula Keough searched 'suicide' on Instagram before killing herself in Halifax, West Yorks, according to a Daily Star report.
Her body was discovered near the town's North Bridge on January 22 this year and she was found to have succumbed to head injuries from the fall. According to a police statement, there were no witnesses during the tragic incident. However, her phone and handbag found near the bridge's edge alerted members of the public. About three hours later, her body was found a mile downstream.
David, her father, revealed during a devastating statement to the inquest at Bradford Coroner's court that his daughter had started to self-harm.
