A teenage couple from Cincinnati, Ohio have committed suicide just days
apart and it turns out they left suicide notes and a video on social
media before carrying out the act.
18-year-old Mercedes Shaday Smith and 17-year-old Markeice "Mari" Brown
had been known as a couple, so when Mercedes killed herself in her dorm
room at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky last Thrusday, her friends believed Mari contributed to his girlfriend's suicide so
they harrassed him online because of it. The harrassment, along with the
grief of losing Mercedes, drove Mari to take his life on Saturday.
Mari shared a note and a farewell video on Facebook Live before
committing suicide. It can be gleaned from Mari's suicide note that
Mercedes was pregnant at the time of her death and they had plans to "go
out together.". He also revealed in the note that her family would not
let him go to her funeral so he decided to go and see her in the
afterlife.
A number of Facebook commenters have referred to their story as a modern
day Romeo and Juliet tale, while others have posted tributes, saying
they were inseparable and no one could fill the space Mercedes' demise
left in Mari's heart so he joined her and they are now inseparable.
Below are more photos of the couple, the suicide note and video that Mari shared on Facebook.
