Australian TV star commits suicide after receiving abuse on Twitter

Australian TV star and former model Charlotte Dawson killed herself after receiving abuse from vicious trolls on Twitter just hours before she died. (left is the last pic of her which she posted on her Instagram page on Friday, a day before she killed herself)

Famed for TV shows such as 'Australia's Next Top Model, the New Zealand-born star, 47, had a history of depression.

She was found dead in her Sydney apartment yesterday morning February 22nd. Police said there were no suspicious circumstances. She had taken prescription tablets with wine and tweeted: 'you win' in a suicide note to her cyber tormentors. Continue...

In 2012, she was admitted to a Sydney hospital after a suicide attempt following an ongoing tirade of abuse on Twitter.
 She later made fighting bullying her personal mission, waging an anti-bullying media campaign on television and radio and in newspapers and magazines as well as her beloved Twitter.

Her efforts and high public profile on the issue were recognised by the National Rugby League, a major Australian football association, which last year made her an anti-bullying ambassador.
 Dawson revealed in her 2012 autobiography 'Air Kiss & Tell' that she was frequently visited by the 'depression bogeyman'.

She had long graced the pages of women's gossip magazines and scenes in reality TV shows. Her modeling career had taken her to Italy, Britain and Germany during the 1980s.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key tweeted he was 'shocked and saddened' by the news of her death.

The Sun-Herald newspaper in Sydney reported Sunday that her body was found only minutes before her luxury waterside apartment was due to be sold at auction.

      Delete
    4. My thought exactly. She should have avoided social media except she using her twitter account for encouraging people and stuff. People are fragile indeed, i wonder how the words of people that mean nothing to u and do not know you should mean so much. Now that she has taken her life, those people won't care but be off bullying another. I have long programmed my mind to not care the rants of onlinners, for all it is worth, some of these people are kids, immature people, psychopaths n people with no life or manners, because a mature sensible person would not take u down in such a manner...when u try to understand who a person is, their behavior would be less hurtful.

I just believe that it's the devil that possesses them to do it. No matter what it is, even if you're chronically ill, it is still not enough reason to end your existence. This is sad. People are praying ceaselessly and fervently for another day to live and some others are ending theirz (poko inspired). Sigh

  28. To be frank, no any african man or woman can ever do what she did. We are human, there are more pressing issues that will push some one into committing suicide but not this.... But the painfull part out all this things is that, she killed herself bcos of twitter and the thought is too big to swallow...... I pray the family have the heart to endure their loss....

  55. There should be a big concern for depression. It is becoming a disease theirs to cancer and AIDS. Hard to do but celebs should be stronger but if not avoid social media. There should be stronger laws on trolling on internet. Should freedom of speech include pushing someone ill to suicide?

  62. I would continued with the torrent of abuse but I will keep my mouth shut! Why use the social media is you are sensitive? If not for bandwagonism? I guess celebrities should adopt Piers Morgan thick skin and sarcasm or even James Blunt's wit, the abuse these two receive each; especially Piers is enough to push anybody over the edge. If you can't stand the heat get the hell outta the kitchen. I think suicide is just a way pea brained celebrities choose to go out to remain relevant! That's all!!

  63. it's obvious some idiots here do not know what cyber bullying is or they do not realize that most times, they are the bullies. and when it comes to LIB, there are really big fat bullies here who do nothing but rain harsh, hurtful and fatal comments on people. all those really harsh comments you make on celebrities and post them here or on twitter, makes you a cyber bully. you say hurtful things just to get wat? an 'LOL'or 'LMAO' from other people, not knowing that u have mentally and emotionally screwed up the individual u just commented on. please be wise and fight ur harsh tongues. some people don't have thick emotional walls and quickly break under such attacks.its not about posting 'RIP' and thinking you've done good, no! its about making sure u are not the one to drive a celebrity or individual to taking their own life with your words.

  65. Na by force to be on social media? If you are a celebrity and prone to suicidal thoughts, the last place you should be is on twitter or any social media. Killing yourself would not accomplish anything. The bullies would just move on to the next person. Clearly, she was looking for peace and she couldn't find it. I hope she is now at rest. I am praying for anyone suffering with mental illness, it's a serious disease. RIP

  77. Why have a twitter account or be on any social media if it affects you strongly! They didn't win my dear, you lost! Avoid whatever causes u pain! There are sick ppl who get a knack from making people feel bad, u can't change that but u certainly can save ur sanity by avoiding em!

  80. On this note, i have to give kudos to Tonto,Beyonce,Rihanna,Chika Ike,Empress Njamah,Dencia,Rita Domnic and the hundreds of others,known and unknown who face serious criticism and insults on a secondly basis. May God continue to strenghten you coz its not the end. As for this one,i doubt its just the insult/cyber bullying but if its just dat,then i say 2-0.(You loose on earth,u loose in heaven). Am not God sha o,so i can't judge! I just pray you find the peace you so desperately want even in death.

  89. I think you should avoid whatever gets you depressed,be it a particular song,social network,program r even people.Just make up your mind to live for yourself and nobody cos no matter what,everybody cant like you.Even Almighty Allah that created us,not every soul he made likes him( e.g satanists,atheists,etc) Moral of my talk, lets pour our opinions in less negative and hostile ways cos these things hurt people. may her soul rest in peace o...

  90. I don't get why people say if you cant handle social media then don't be there. For Gods sake it was created so people can interract with each other. Most celebs use it to keep in contact with their fans. Imagine if majority of the celebs don't have social media, y'all will complain. Social media isn't for bullies. If you have issues deal with it. Dont come online TO frustrate others because your life is messed up. Take away the title 'celeb'...these people are humans abeg....smh. RIP

  96. Why didn't she just come off twitter? You can survive without social media. Esp with depression avoid all triggers! Sad but you can't say you are being bullied by trolls and still remain on social media. You have a choice deactivate tour account!! Celebrity or no celebrity.

  110. The hypocrites on LIB have come to start saying "awww,so sad", "may she rest in peace" etc etc. How different are ya'll from those guys on twitter when a lot of you do the same here? We really should learn to stop being unnecessarily bitter & stupidly judgemental.

Hypocrite

  113. Ignorance is a disease. Because you haven't been suffering from depression doesnt mean those suffering are stupid. Suicidal people are often depressed and discontented with themselves. They do not love themselves at all because they are emotionally immature which can be linked to some issues in their upbringing. Some emotionally immature people may not be suicidal but some are. When you hate yourself so much and keep dwelling on your weaknesses, you should check yourself. I have been researching on this and I understand this lady's predicament very well. She should have stayed off twitter and social media entirely. Some people consider themselves ugly when others see them as pretty, consider themselves as failures when others see the successes they have achieved, this is as a result of an underlying psychological problem. When we notice these traits in our friends or family, we should help them in any way we can and not abandon them.

  114. What's the point of being a tv star when she was unable to take insults. Who wld wanna be famous if insults makes one commit suicide? She didn't live a life of good example. Come to think of it, she didn't even get 1% of the insult GEJ got in a year in her whole life. If insults cld kill, I guess GEJ wld have been dead long long time ago. If I say RIP, it means I'm drunk cuz I knw she won't rest in peace. :(
