When she was only 14-years-old, Daisy claimed that she was sexually assaulted by a man who left her wearing only a T-shirt for hours outside of her home in freezing temperatures after he attacked her. The man was never prosecuted for his actions.
She became an advocate for sexual assault survivors before her death earlier this year. Melinda was the one who revealed that her daughter had died by suicide.
“My daughter Catherine Daisy Coleman committed suicide tonight,” the grieving mother posted via Facebook on August 4. “If you saw crazy/messages and posts it was because I called the police to check on her. She was my best friend and amazing daughter. I think she had to make it seem like I could live without her. I can’t. I wish I could have taken the pain from her! She never recovered from what those boys did to her and it’s just not fair. My baby girl is gone.”
