Daisy Coleman, sexual assault survivor featured on Netflix’s ‘Audrie & Daisy,’ dies by suicide at 23

Daisy Coleman, a sexual assault survivor featured in Netflix’s heart-rending documentary “Audrie & Daisy,” died by suicide Tuesday night at age 23.

Coleman’s body was found after her mother Melinda Coleman asked police to conduct a welfare check, Melinda revealed via her Facebook page late Tuesday.

“My daughter Catherine Daisy Coleman committed suicide tonight,” Melinda wrote. “If you saw crazy/messages and posts it was because I called the police to check on her. She was my best friend and amazing daughter.”

She added her belief that Coleman “had to make ... it seem like I could live without her.

“I can’t,” Melinda continued. “I wish I could have taken the pain from her! She never recovered from what those boys did to her and it’s just not fair. My baby girl is gone.”

Coleman was living in Colorado Springs, Colo., at the time of her death, her Facebook page said.

The 2016 documentary centered on the bullying facing Coleman’s family and that of Audrie Pott’s following their 2012 sexual assaults.

Coleman, then 14, was allegedly raped in January of that year after she had been plied with alcohol, while Pott was assaulted in September by three teenage boys she knew.

Pott took her own life 10 days after the assault. She was just 15.

Though no one was ever convicted in Coleman’s alleged assault, which occurred in Maryville, Mo., Matthew Barnett in 2014 pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of child endangerment for leaving the young girl on her doorstep in subfreezing weather while she was unconscious.

Barnett was 19 when he was sentenced to two years of probation.

Also in 2014, a charge against then-19-year-old Jordan Zech for filming the encounter between Coleman and Barnett was dropped.

Two of the boys involved in Pott’s case were sentenced to 30 days in juvenile hall over 15 weekends, while the third was sentenced to 45 days.

While filming the documentary, Coleman cofounded SafeBAE, which describes itself as “a survivor-founded, student-led national organization whose mission is to end sexual assault among middle and high school students.”

In a series of tweets Wednesday, SafeBAE said it was “shattered and shocked” by Coleman’s death.

“She would want young survivors to know they are heard, they matter, they are loved, and there are places for them to get the help they need,” the tweets continued. “And she would want everyone else — peer allies, educators, parents, legislators, religious leaders — to come together to help stop sexual violence and help save teen lives.:

“She never recovered from what those boys did to her and it’s just not fair,” Melinda told TMZ. “My baby girl is gone.”

Last year, Coleman’s family also dealt with the loss of her younger brother following a car accident.
