Assisted suicide? What was she dying of? Something inoperable?

I'm not sure.

There's a price to be paid for honestly reporting a counter narrative.

Maybe she was depressed. Maybe jabbed. Maybe the zealots got to her.

Walking back one's own hypothesis and reporting the opposite takes courage. She has my respect for that.

RIP.

I popped open a few articles. Some hinted that it was depression that made her kill herself. One indicated that outright. Either nobody has the balls to just write: "She was depressed and requested assisted suicide because of her depression", or they don't have confirmation so are guessing and gently dancing around it so as not to get too heavily corrected or dragged to court.

I don't think treating depression by agreeing with one of it's most dangerous mental symptoms is a great idea. That's like someone having Body Integrity Dysphoria about their head, so you get them surgery to have it removed.

Apparently she's tried to kill herself before as well. Said one of her books is essentially her suicide note. For anyone else who is thinking of taking their own life, please, please remember this: Make your note short, I don't have time to read a 350 page book to see if my name is in it.
