Thisis a bloody tragedy, but press noise notwithstanding, her involvement with wiccan beliefs probably had little to do with this outcome except by being used as a topic for peer cruelty. It could have been the color of her hair or a preference for the wrong brand of chocolate at that age -- the cruelties of schoolchildren are fearsome indeed. Her vulnerability was redoubled by the prior loss of her parents' stability at the worst possible time of her life. Without that loss she (I would guess) probably could have worked through the peer bullshit.

What a damned shame.
