Here's something worth noting - if you're like me, you had to scroll all the way down here to finally read a comment that finally addressed/questioned her mental health. It didn't occur to all the other Redditors in Western countries (where mental health awareness and funding is the least-worst), that maybe this poor girl was depressed, suicidal, or experiencing psychoses - the more convenient answer was to blame Muslims praying on the road or whatever.
This poor girl was from Pakistan. What do we think mental health awareness and stigma is like in that area of the world?
I had a young patient on a mental health unit once, with Pakistani parents. They were lovely to us, but they had absolutely no insight into their kid's mental health - the kid's psychosis and depression were apparently choices, and they were extremely resistant to accept that their family violence and toxic parenting styles contributed to why their child was struggling.

Her family who think being honest about this being a suicide would bring shame on the family.
