A Harry Suicide

Via Filipino Martin Aquino’s blog:
A Philippine girl has allegedly committed suicide over a fake version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. According to blogger Martin Aquino who heard the story via a Philippine radio news report, the mother and daughter had downloaded what they believed was a legitimate copy of the latest and final Harry Potter novel.
Sadly for the girl, the book was a fake, and detailed a gruesome end to Harry Potter and each of his friends.
The girl’s mother stated that her daughter was extremely upset over this fact and locked herself in her room. When the mother finally came up to get her daughter for dinner, she found that the young girl had hanged herself in her closet with rolled bedsheets and a nightgown.
Apparently, this girl was a Harry Potter fanatic: her room was filled with figurines, models, posters, toys, dolls, and the six other books.
So far, there hasn’t been much backing up this story except one other forum post I found via Google.
I believe it! After hearing about how wild people go with ruining the final book and whatnot, I feel like some people would wrap their entire lives around it.
