A teen girl who allegedly committed suicide has become a recent addition to the growing list of deaths in SM malls.
On Monday morning, a day after an 18-year old woman named Jessa Lojo had posted a video of her kissing her minor girlfriend on Facebook, Jessa jumped off from the 5th floor to the upper ground floor of SM Megamall Building B.
Jessa who fell face down on the ground suffere head injuries. She was rushed to the Medical City but was declared dead on arrival at 10:45 a.m.
Senior Inspector Danilo Esguerra, chief of the Mandaluyong City police’s station investigation unit, said they learned so far that Jessa committed suicide a day after she was reprimanded by her aunt after she posted in social media a video of her kissing her 17-year-old girlfriend.
Pontillo, friend of the victim’s sister, Irene, who was with the victim moments before her suicide, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer Jessa was crying and looking quite depressed right before her jump.
“Lagi na lang akong pabigat (I’m always a burden to my family),” Pontillo remembered the victim telling her. Jessa added she was also embarrassed that her relatives saw the video, Pontillo said.
This was the second time a woman committed suicide at the popular mall chain. Several other deaths, allegedly suicides have also been reported from other SM branches in the past.
