Heartbreaking: Teen worried about exam results left chilling note for parents before committing suicide

A teenager worried about failing her exams wrote her parents a chilling suicide note before committing suicide, Mirror.co.uk reports.

Amy Latham, 18, left a message in her bedroom saying: “To save you looking for me I’m dead. I will probably be in a tree.”

Her body was found hanging in woodland near her home in Wimborne, Dorset, 36 hours after she left the note.

The teenager had sat her A-level exams in English, biology and chemistry days prior to her disappearance and had previously told of her fears of failing them.

An inquest heard Amy, who had got mostly A grades in her GCSEs two years previously at Queen, started suffering from depression in April this year, two months before her death on June 30.

Detective Inspector Joe Williams, from Dorset police, told the inquest: “Amy had been concerned about her A-levels which she had just taken at Queen Elizabeth’s School in Wimborne, and she was undecided and unsure about her future.

DI Williams said Amy had been reported missing after her father Graham returned home from work to find her gone.

He found three notes written by Amy in her bedroom, one of which read: “To save you spending time looking for me I’m dead. I will probably be in a tree.”

A major police search was launched and the following day Amy’s body was found in a copse close to the house.
