Folkestone suicide tragedy

May72008

An apparent eye witness has come forward to the tragic death on Friday, claiming that NO, there was not a crowd to witness the event and NO, no-one was holding up a mobile phone filming:

Asd for what you've been told about people there taking pictures etc on they're phones of it happening? That's utter Bull sh*t! It was surprisingly quiet for the time of day and the ambulance seemed to take forever to cover her body.

So that's that settled then. I guess details will be all over the Folkestone Herald etc this week.

I didn't realise there was a Folkestone connection to all the Bridgend nonsense earlier in the year either, how sad. From kentnews.co.uk back in February:

A young woman has killed herself while on holiday in Folkestone after hearing about that her cousin had tried to take his life.

Kelly Stephenson, 20, from Bridgend, South Wales was on holiday in Folkestone with her family when she heard that her 15-year-old cousin, Nathanial Pritchard, had attempted to hang himself late on Wednesday.

Note this is not connected with last Friday's events.

Folkestone Herald has named the woman as Rosie Dunstall, she'd recently suffered from depression, and was reportedly at Wilkinsons discussing a possible return to work before the tragedy. Makes more sense than my previous imaginings about someone planning to end it all but wanting to get some work out of the way first.

RE: Folkestone suicide tragedy

I can confirm that Rosie had just come from an interview in which her return to work part-time was discussed positively. She had been treated for depression and everything seemed to be going well. It is so sad that, just when life had begun to look rosy, Rosie took her own life. Who knows what goes on in a person's mind at a point like that ... I believe that reality for such a person suddenly becomes no more than the posters on the sides of the Undergound and one's sole destination seems to be at the end of the dark tunnel beyond the platform.

My feelings are with her family and with those people who had to witness and deal with her smashed body.
