Help arrived too late to save Nakia
One of the girl’s friends told the Miami Herald she saw some of Nakia Venant’s two-hour livestream on Sunday from the bathroom of her foster home and called Miami-Dade police, who responded to her house, albeit too late to prevent the death-by-suicide as ruled by the Florida Department of Children and Families.
Responding officers found Nakia Venant hanging from the door frame in the bathroom.
The caller gave cops a wrong address in Miami, according to the paper. When police showed up there, residents gave them the address of Venant’s foster home in the suburb of Miami Gardens.
Officers found the 14-year-old hanging from a scarf fashioned into a noose around her neck and tried to resuscitate her, but without success.
The teen was then rushed to Jackson North Hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead. According to the incident report released by the DCF to the Herald, Nakia tied her scarf to a ‘shower glass door frame’ for the purpose of killing herself just after 3 a.m., Sunday, while her foster parents were asleep in their bed.
Child social services and Miami Gardens police are now investigating the circumstances of her suicide.
It is believed Nakia used Facebook Live to broadcast her suicide, although it has not been confirmed as of Wednesday morning.
