That’s unfortunate. Condolences to the family. Depression is real. I’m sure she was surrounded by many haters smiling in her face like they were proud of her. Some people just can’t handle miserable jealousy around them.
Suicide isn’t the answer. Just keep shining in the hater’s faces!
Rest in peace, Aziza!
So sad. Depression is a silent killer.
RIP and condolences to Aziza's friends and famiy.
