Izabel Laxamana, a 13-year-old girl in Tacoma, Washington committed suicide after jumping off a highway overpass last May 29. Before the incident, Laxamana’s father Jeff had reportedly punished her for an unspecified transgression by cutting off her hair and uploading that disgusting video to YouTube. There’s now a controversy brewing online and among the girl’s friends and family over whether the video caused her death.
Tacoma’s News Tribune reports that an unidentified girl, exited a car and jumped off a bridge onto Interstate 5. She was taken to a Seattle hospital, where she died on Saturday. The original 15-second video that is supposedly of Izabel, recorded by her father, has been removed. But one of Laxamana’s friends shared it by taping the original on his phone.
The video shows that a girl is wearing a black shirt and pants with short hair. The conversation in the video goes like:
“The consequences of getting messed up, man, you lost all that beautiful hair,” a male voice can be heard saying from behind the camera. The video pans down, where long locks of black hair are scattered on the ground. “Was it worth it?”
“No,” she responds quietly.
“How many times did I warn you?” he asks.
“A lot,” she replies, barely audibly.
