Suicide is often the last resort for when a desperate person sees no other way out of their situation. Malaysian influencer Cathryn Li (李元玲) apparently hit that point on 13th March.
After receiving a slew of hate due to her outburst on the “正面交鋒 FaceTalk” show, Cathryn posted her suicide attempt on Instagram. The post was taken down on the same day.
While many netizens voiced their concern for her wellbeing, there were some who questioned the photo. One of them was makeup artist Kenny Yee. Founder of the Makeup Miracle Academy and a professional makeup artist in his own right, he stated that the ‘wounds’ on her neck “(didn’t) look real” to him.
He reiterated several times in his post that “suicide is no joke” and made it clear that it should not be a way to gain sympathy. While he alluded to only knowing about her from the past week and stated he had no obligations about her feelings, her photo made him doubt the authenticity.
Kenny used his makeup skills to demonstrate what someone’s wounds would look like if they survived a hanging. According to him, the line should be near the person’s lower jaw line with scratches on their face or shoulder caused by their struggling. Their face would also be swollen due to blood clot. Kenny added that the survivors “can face a range of serious injuries, including cerebral anoxia (which can lead to permanent brain damage)“. “You won’t have (time) to take a nice selfie like what (Cathryn) did,” he said.
Kenny isn’t the only doubter on the Internet. Other netizens have also expressed uncertainty about her attempt. One netizen pointed out that the wounds on her neck were similar to strangulation and not a hanging. Cathryn has not posted anything since the attempt. She may be listening to concerned fans and taking a break from social media.
Regardless of her predicament, we hope she understands that taking her own life is never the answer.
