A 15-year-old girl struggling with bullies, boyfriends and her parents'
broken marriage killed herself after leaving behind a suicide note,
reading "thanks for all the pain."
Cora Delille was found dead in her Pickerington, Ohio home's bedroom
last week, along with the painful, handwritten page which police say
addressed some of her accused tormenters by name.
"She named like maybe four, maybe five kids. Just first names only,"
Pickerington Police Commander Matt Delp told the Daily News Tuesday.
Of those names, two were allegedly names of ex-boyfriends — one of which broke up with her the night before she died.
But there were allegedly other struggles far beyond fellow classmates.
"She had a lot of issues going on in her life," said Delp. "Her
boyfriend broke up with her, she didn't know if her mother loved her.
There were a lot of other things going on in her life other than
bullying."
A police investigation into her bullying claim has turned up few leads,
though a few students did say that they witnessed it firsthand,
according to Delp.
In her schools' files he said there were no reports of it. An online
search of her social media accounts also didn't turn up anything
crucial, he said.
Shockingly instead, it's the days after her suicide that police say people have posted vile comments about her online.
"I think there are stupid people out there who like to get a rise out of people," reasoned Delp of the appalling activity.
Asked whether the commenters may be people she knew, Delp answered: "Those people could be from Iowa. It's the Internet."
Delp said that he doesn't expect any charges to be pressed against anyone named in her letter.
Even the allegations of bullying that authorities believe they've
confirmed weren't more than name calling, which isn't a misdemeanor.
"It's obviously an issue which we in society need to address,"
summarized Delp. "I think it's human nature to do it, maybe we're messed
up as a species."
A request for comment from the Pickerington School District was not returned.
