BRISTOL COUNTY, Mass. (Feb. 27, 2015)– A teenage girl is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter after investigators say she encouraged a fellow high school student to commit suicide in July 2014, FOX8 reports.
Conrad Roy, 18, committed suicide on July 13, 2014, Michelle Carter, 18, is accused of “strongly influencing” Roy’s decision to kill himself, according to FOX8.
Carter was allegedly aware of Roy’s suicidal thoughts and encouraged him to take his own life, rather than attempting to assist him or notify officials.
After Roy’s death, Carter posted several messages on her Twitter account mourning him.

Days prior to Roy’s suicide, Carter was allegedly telling her friends “it’s her fault that Conrad is dead, even though he was still alive and speaking and texting with her regularly,” police said.
South Coast Today reported that on July 11, 2014, Carter texted a friend saying she couldn’t locate Roy and was “a mess,” then an hour later texted Roy and allegedly said, “Let me know when you’re gonna do it.”
Carter is out on $2,500 bail. Her next court date is scheduled for April.
