Cheslie Kryst Suicide: What Red Flags Did We Missed?

Losing a beauty queen that you have learned to like is never easy, may her fans and supporters will find solace in the lovely memories she shared with us.

It is really difficult to imagine a celebrity committing suicide.  We just saw her in Israel and what we saw was somebody who was full of LIFE, and somebody who loves LIFE, and the LIFE she was injecting into her career. Then with just one twist of the finger ... she's gone?  Then you start asking these questions.  Was it really suicide?  What warning signs did her family miss here. Was there a foul play? I can't imagine a lawyer with a budding career jumping her way out to her death. Some-body as smart as she, making her goodbyes the most painful not only to her but her family.

At this time she left leaving her family and fans in total disbelief, now they crack their heads about what they could have missed. Were there red flags and warning signs, and now they wonder what clues they might have missed. Often, many factors combine to lead a person to the decision to take their own life. Did she do it impulsively or in a spur of the moment? Or she has been outlining these plans extensively?

While there are many factors that can influence a person's decision to commit suicide, the most common are:

1. severe depression - According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, depression is present in about half of all 

suicides.

2. traumatic experience - depression is common after trauma. If it is a case of multiple trauma, even if the incident happened

in the past, the risk of suicide is higher.

3. Impulsivity -drugs, and alcohol can make somebody impulsive, and the person would likely act on what he or she feels and

suicide was the most available option.

4. Loss of something important - ex. loss of job, financial problems, loss of social status, loss of a loved one

5. Hopelessness

6. Feeling of being a burden to others

Suicide is not a cry for attention but a cry for help. It was their way of showing the world how much they are hurting. While it might have appeared that someone had everything to live for, it probably didn't feel that way to them.

To her family and friends, based on the outline, were there any clues or hints that you missed?  If the answer is no, let's wait for the result of the investigation. And maybe start looking at the case from a different angle.

Why is Suicide Being Investigated?

Suicide is considered an unnatural death. All deaths that can't be described as death by natural causes are categorized as unnatural deaths. This includes accidents, homicide, suicide, violent death, falls, poisoning, or overdoses (intentional and unintentional), and drowning.

In Cheasli's case, police need to come and investigate. Suicide is not against the law but being bombarded by whodunit movies and social media flooding us with truthful or fake reports there are cases where a homicide has been made to look like a suicide, and the police have to make sure that the suicide has not been staged to cover up a foul play
