Daisy Coleman’s mom says tragic daughter killed herself after finding out ‘teen rape left her unable to have children’
DAISY Coleman's heartbroken mother says she took her own life after finding out she couldn't have children, likely caused by her teen rape ordeal, The Sun can reveal.
In an exclusive interview, grieving Melinda Coleman said 23-year-old Daisy had visited a doctor in the weeks prior to her death, where she was told she would never be able to conceive.
"It was two weeks ago, it feels like it's been a really long time, and like it's been no time at all, if that makes sense," Melinda told The Sun.
"She was my best friend, and she would say the same, we talked every day. We were really close.
"I really thought we were past this [her feeling suicidal], in my heart, but then she got hit with a lot of stuff recently.
An additional charge against another boy who allegedly filmed a sexual encounter between Daisy and Barnett was also later dropped.
Melinda says a number of other factors may have contributed to Daisy taking her own life, including a stalker, not being able to see her regular psychiatrist, and grieving for her dad and brother.
“They can’t believe it, I went and got the pets and cleaned everything up, nobody could handle it,” Melinda said through tears.
“Later on, I wanted to see her, I wanted to hold her, so we went and her boyfriend, I had to hold him up, he just fell apart, that was my baby.
"We're going to have it at the football stadium where the kids went to high school in Albany, so we can have lots of people.
“There is a song written for her called White Roses, and we're going to have white roses and daisies [at the service]. And then some of the songs that she liked and her songs, obviously."
Asked how she feels about Daisy not getting the justice the family so badly needed, Melinda said: "There are people that are just evil for the sake of evil and our justice system, it may be one of the best in the world, but it's still far from fair.
"Daisy was always trying so hard to do the right thing in the right way and wanted the world to be the way it should be, not the way it is."
