Poor girl, probably no one to support for psychological issues.

May her soul rest in peace. Soon more people might think this is the option for us. Please be strong and let's do whatever (economically, morally and even by words) we could do to help each other.

What a waste f talented life. Corruption, cronyism, thuggery, younger generation seeing no hope, a dysfunctional judiciary and security forces that dance to the whims and fancy of the powerful politicians, etc. has made this country a cesspit. Only way forward is to bring these, who ruined are country to justice and mute strict punishment. I hope there are some honest politicians who can kick RW, MR, MY3, Gota etc out and put them in jail for ruining out country...

This was the situation in Albania in Europe, when it was ruled by a dictator who controlled the wealth of the nation. The ruler had a forest for hunting when he wants, but the countrymen were allowed to eat meat only one day in a year. Today Albania is free after the fall of USSR but still is a backward country compared to the rest of Europe.

Sad news. The investigators must make a report on what shortcomings she faced, perhaps supporting her in her mental health
