Maybe the boy's text message was just the drop that spilled the cup. Gabrielle was described as sometimes very bubbly and sometimes depressed. Maybe she had BPD. Rejection is the main suicide attempt trigger for BPD sufferers.

Poor baby, I hope I see her if I go to heaven.
I have had one of the toughest lives a person could endure. Illness the doctors could not figure out at the age of four, unnecessary surgeries. I was in a coma for ten days once at the age of 30 with another weird disease doctors could not identify after which I lost the use of my kidneys. But when the hospital psychologist asked me what was the toughest thing I had ever endured I said without doubt "depression".
Please, if you are experiencing depression seek professional help and no matter what you have heard before anti-depressants are a very good thing till you are back on top of your game. Don't let ignorant people tell you differently. Depression is like any other physical ailment you need to treat it medically and socially to your favor till you fell 100%. If I had not been notched in the right direction by an understanding person I would not be here writing this letter to you. I know how hard it is to do what needs to be done when you are depressed. So please if you are depressed, get up, look for a psychologist, get a prescription and you will start seeing the difference immediately.

Horrible news. That first rush of love can be so powerful at that age. Such a shame.

Poor girl, the thing is if you have depression you can't always tell people because of the fact so many use the excuse of having it when they don't so they don't have to work, the mention of the word and your not believed. I had it for 8 years it's an awful awful thing I never left the house, never spoke to people. Maybe she felt she couldn't talk to anyone or no one would believe her, just a shame it came to this but obviously she didn't want to suffer anymore. R.I.P angel x

If she had lived long enough, she might have come to realize that the cute, cool boy who stood her up, will end up being a bald, fat, insurance salesman who runs around on his wife.

There had to be issues in this tragic person's life a lot bigger than a cancelled date.Sometimes kids who seem like they have the most going for them in life, have the most anxiety in their lives, which makes it all the more difficult sometimes to know that they are hurting inside.

this may be a commentary on how much one's sense of worth is tied up in constant confirmations of desirability in the industry, especially at such a young age. fortunately, if american apparel's example holds true, we won't need actual humans for this business much longer.

And nobody mentions the trauma suffered by the train driver ?

so sorry for the fAmily.
huffington are compleetly wrong they have written this from the wrong angle.

What an absolutely repulsive angle this article takes and it just shows how The Huffington is rapidly declining into the tabloid cess-pit.

This young woman's suicide is not tragic because she is a model and was stood up on a date. This young wonan's suicide is tragic because she clearly had serious mental health issues and did not get treatment.

This is a horrible headline. The cancelled date might have just been the final straw, but it was obviously much deeper than that. Get it together Huff - this is an unkind headline and intimates that the girl was so shallow that just a broken date made her do this. Ridiculous. So very sorry for the family.

Bad News!
