Shocking: 12-year-old girl Katelyn Nichole hangs herself live on Facebook (Updated)

The news of the death of a 12-year-old girl from West Virginia, Polk County, Georgia has gone viral — not because she just died — but because the minor livestreamed her suicide to millions of people on Facebook.

The young lady, reportedly named Katelyn Nichole Davis lived with her mother and was a student at Cedartown Middle School. She allegedly hanged herself on December 30, 2016.

According to the Inquisitr, the Georgia girl was found outside her home on December 30 with what is described as “self-inflicted wounds.”

Paramedics tried to save the girl after she was first found just after 6 p.m., but Davis was declared dead at the Polk Medical Center’s Emergency Room.

Police are reportedly investigating the allegations that Katelyn Nichole Davis posted live video of her suicide. The Polk County Police Department had obtained a search warrant for the girl’s phone and Facebook account, as well as a third social media site, Northwest Georgia News reported.

But while police continue to investigate, a video identified as the 12-year-old’s suicide was posted across social media.

An Instagram page identified as belonging to Davis also had messages about heartbreak and a note posted five days before her death that read, “Reblog in memory of those who have committed suicide.”
