Problems around the world, plane crashes, viruses, deaths and now even suicides. 2020, can you get over already?! Latest news coming in earlier today was that of Japanese professional wrestler Hana Kimura passing away and yes, the cause was confirmed to be suicide. Kimura was a rising talent and was only 22 years old when she passed away!
You can blame cyber-bullying to be the cause of her death, as she took her life shortly after receiving a lot of hate and negativity that was sent her way on social media platforms. While some may take such things with a pinch of salt, we tend to forget how much of an impact hatred can have on someone.
Daughter of former pro wrestler Kyoko Kimura, Hana had a long and prosperous career ahead of her, with the chances of making it big in the years to come, and probably even reach a stage like the WWE. Recently, she was also part of a reality series named Terrace House that aired on Netflix where different Japanese celebrities came together to live with each other.
Born on 3 September 1997 in Yokohama, Hana took to Instagram to post her last thoughts and sentiments yesterday. While she posted in Japanese, the literal translation of her caption was, “I love you, have fun. I’m sorry.” While this caption would’ve been a worry to some, not many would’ve thought it would’ve led to suicide.
However, her note on Twitter made it clearer that this harsh step was coming nearer. She posted saying, “Nearly 100 frank opinions every day. I couldn’t deny that I was hurt. I’m dead. Thank you for giving me a mother. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you to everyone who supported me. I love it. I’m weak, I’m sorry. I don’t want to be a human anymore. It was a life I wanted to be loved.”
It’s heart-breaking to see someone so young and talented end their life because of the opinions of others. Talking about cyber-bullying, it was only a couple of days back that Hollywood celebrity Hilary Duff was subject to it, which she recently decided to respond to, a couple of days later.
