A teenage model killed herself under a train after a text from a boy cancelling a date at the cinema, an inquest heard today. Gabrielle Joseph, 16, told friends on Facebook: ‘I am going to kill myself tonight’ because she was so upset at being turned down for the date, due on the following night.
The young model died little more than an hour later.
Gabrielle was described as a ‘bubbly’ and ‘outgoing’ teenager with a busy life attending college and holding two part-time jobs, including one at the popular Hollister fashion store.
She had ambitions of being a top model, and on her own website wrote: ‘In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.’ Her father Terry described her as being ‘groggy and pale’ on the day of her death near her home in Briton Ferry, South Wales.
An inquest heard that she had been left ‘distressed’ by the text at 8.15pm last Easter Monday cancelling the date and that 75 minutes later she died from multiple injuries after she was hit by the train near her home.
Gabrielle wrote a three-page Facebook message to friends telling of her upset at the text from a boy who cancelled their movie date for the next night. Within an hour she was hit by the 75mph Milford Haven to Cardiff train.
WOAHHHHH, Priorities in life are so different!

This is just very unfortunate. It makes one wonder if she couldn't even handle a date cancellation then perhaps she was likely to commit suicide at a later date concerning much more serious issues.
I just hope that the boyfriend doesn't blame himself for his deceased girlfriends nonsensical act.

If na Naija girl, if you cancel, she will ship another mugu, if that one cancel, she will call mugu senator, or even mugu governor. This will never happen in Naija. Oh, maybe it will start happening in next 100yrs.
