Simone Back: Announces suicide on Facebook- and none of her friends help

Here comes again another story on suicide. A 42 year-old woman who told her 1,048 Facebook "friends" that she had taken an overdose was found dead after no one came to her aid. Her last message posted on the social network site saying, “Took all my pills be dead soon bye bye everyone" and unfortunately, instead of trying to save her, her friends calling her a “liar” and saying the fatal overdose was “her choice”. Auww, so mean!! (?_?)

She is found dying on the floor of her flat just minutes after the post a “friend” replied “She ODs all the time and she lies.”

Here the conversation goes:

Christmas Day, 10.53pm: Simon Back posts the status update: "Took all my pills be dead soon bye bye everyone."
11.01pm: "Friend" A writes: "She ODs all the time and she lies."
11.02pm: Friend B responds angrily: "I hope that she is lying about this or you're going to feel guilty tomorrow."
Boxing Day, 12.09am: Friend C writes: "Did you catch the part about Simone taking pills?? .. the 'bye bye' part?? Did anyone go by personally and check on Simone.. or call 999?? what's wrong with you people?? is the gossip really more important than her??"
12.56am: "Friend" A retorts: "She does it all the time, takes all of her pills", then, 14 minutes later, "She's not a kid anymore."
1.56am: A third worried friend writes: "If any of you actually call yourself friends one of you should call round and see if she's ok, I'm glad I don't personally know any of you, heartless."
12.01pm: Another Facebook user logs on and writes: "She has a choice and taking pills over a relationship is not a good enough reason."
1.56pm: Friend C comes back to check and writes: "I would never treat another human the way you are treating her, there is someone out there who's desperate and all I can see is people feeding her."
At 4pm, Mrs Langridge called police to the flat after receiving a worried text and an hour later, Miss Back was pronounced dead in hospital.

See? While some Facebook friends from out of town begged online for her address and telephone number so that they could help, none of those who lived closer did anything to help. How cruel they are? There comes a point in your life when you realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will. FRIENDS =))
