UPDATED NOV 8, 2018

A New York woman who accidentally killed two children and also cost a mother her unborn child killed herself inside her Staten Island apartment this past week. 45-year-old Dorothy Buns was found dead from overdosing on prescription pills and had left a note stating that she "can't do this anymore" and instructing those who found her to "not resuscitate" her.

According to the New York Post, she was found by a friend who went to check on the 45-year-old after she didn't hear from her and became concerned about her well-being. She was found on her bed surrounded by bottles of prescription pills that treated a variety of conditions ranging from high cholesterol, high blood pressure, seizures, heart disease, and depression. The note reportedly also gave the friend who found her the power of attorney.
