Police fail.
I hope they investigate and not just assume she killed herself.

Through the chest, that must be really sharp knife.

Some people just want to be done with life, but there are no humane options. I hope for legislated change in this regard.

suffering from mental illness for over 30 years and had a history of visiting a psychiatrist. I feel for the women that she had to suffer this long. I hope she did get some help with medication/therapy but there is so much a person could take with such illness.
