This 18 Years Old Girl Accused of Encouraging Friend To Commit Suicide

18 years old Michelle Carter is facing manslaughter charges for allegedly encouraging a friend by text messages to take his own life.

High school senior Michelle Carter, 18, was charged this month with first-degree involuntary manslaughter in 18-year-old Conrad Roy III's July 13 suicide behind a Fairhaven Kmart. 

Carter, who was 17 at the time, was alleged to have encouraged Roy to take his own life by sending him a series of text messages including some that implied he would be happier once dead.

A Massachusetts teen urged her friend to kill himself, telling him to get back into a running car where he inhaled its toxic fumes, before raising money for mental illness in his memory, authorities say.
