Instagram page on Friday, a day before she killed

herself)

Famed for TV shows such as 'Australia's Next Top

Model, the New Zealand-born star, 47, had a history

of depression.

She was found dead in her Sydney apartment

yesterday morning February 22nd. Police said there

were no suspicious circumstances. She had taken

prescription tablets with wine and tweeted: 'you win'

in a suicide note to her cyber tormentors.

 

 

 

 

 

In 2012, she was admitted to a Sydney hospital after a

suicide attempt following an ongoing tirade of abuse

on Twitter.

She later made fighting bullying her personal

mission, waging an anti-bullying media campaign on

television and radio and in newspapers and magazines

as well as her beloved Twitter.

Her efforts and high public profile on the issue were

recognised by the National Rugby League, a major

Australian football association, which last year made

her an anti-bullying ambassador.

Dawson revealed in her 2012 autobiography 'Air Kiss

& Tell' that she was frequently visited by the

'depression bogeyman'.

She had long graced the pages of women's gossip

magazines and scenes in reality TV shows. Her

modeling career had taken her to Italy, Britain and

Germany during the 1980s.

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key tweeted he was

'shocked and saddened' by the news of her death.

The Sun-Herald newspaper in Sydney reported

Sunday that her body was found only minutes before

her luxury waterside apartment was due to be sold at

auction.

 

 

 

this is why I am 100 percent against cyber bullying.

Too sad...She should have tried dealing with it using other means...not suicide.

[Suavity]

Just cyber bullying and she took her precious life? Too bad.

I tell you. What a cheap way to die.
