“I am so sorry I could not be better. To those that I love, I am sorry I could not be stronger. I apologise for not being able to repay those who gave me their all.
“Please understand that me leaving is not a reflection of you, but the result of my own inability to turn myself for the better. To Ashley, Cynthia, Regine & Sophia. I am so sorry.
“Please remember me for the good memories we have shared, and never for my downfall. I will see you all again on the other side.”
She ended the note with the words “Brianna, I’m coming,” referring to her friend Brianna Moore, who committed suicide at the age of 15 in February 2016.
Friends initially responded with messages of support and offers of assistance for Kayleigh, and several contacted authorities about the post.
But several hours later her sister, Ashley Scott, confirmed that she had passed away.
“To all who have commented and those who are watching this post, Kay has passed,” Ashley said. Thank you for your concern and outpouring of love for her. We are going to miss her so much.”
