14 DAY TRIAL // 15-years-old Tallulah Wilson took her own life in central London last weekend. The teen jumped in front of a train at St Pancras station, after visiting several self-harm and suicide websites.
Tallulah has begun attending St Margaret’s School in West Hampstead, London in September, after reportedly suffering bullying incidents at her old school. According to the Telegraph, her parents believe she was "heavily influenced" by said websites, as that she was corresponding with other troubled teens online.
She had also posted messages in which she led friends to believe she intended to end her life.
"Tallulah will always be remembered as a loving daughter and caring sister. [...] She was a clever, cheerful and creative girl with a talent for dance and huge potential. She will be sadly missed by all those who knew her," her family said in a statement.
British Transport Police (BTP) responded to the call about the girl being struck by a train, last Sunday.
"BTP officers were called to St. Pancras station on Sunday October 14 following a report of a girl being struck by a train. […] BTP and Metropolitan Police officers attended the incident, which was reported to BTP at 10am and is currently being treated as non-suspicious," BTP spokesmen stated.
Mark Webster, the head of St Margaret’s School, claims the girl had friends at the new school, and cannot explain why she would decide to take her own life.
"Tallulah had only been with us for a few weeks but she was already a very popular member of our community, well-liked by literally all who knew her, teachers and staff alike. [...] Her good natured charm, kind manner and sweet sense of humour will be deeply missed. We feel for her family and are thinking of them at this very difficult time," Webster said.
