Woman’s suicide note posts Instagram days that were skipped to her death

Woman’s Suicide Note posts days later on Instagram after jumping to her death.

A 24-year-old Brooklyn woman who jumped to her death from the Vessel sculpture in Hudson Yards in New York City had written a heartbreaking farewell on Instagram – and it has now appeared online after her suicide.

“If you’re reading this, I’m gone,” Yocheved Gourarie wrote in the post she planned to publish a day after her tragic leap. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that I am no longer in pain.

On Tuesday Gourarie, of Crown Heights, took the subway to Manhattan and bought a ticket for the ship, a popular tourist attraction. She did not bring a suicide note, but took with her “information that makes it easy to determine who to contact,” according to police reports. Reaching the top of the structure, Gourarie – who had chronicled her struggles with anorexia and depression online – climbed onto the railing and jumped up, police said.

Emergency services responding to a 911 call declared Gourarie dead at the scene. She had scheduled her last Instagram post to post the next day – a modern suicide note full of gratitude, desperation and wry humor. She wrote, “Hey…. Guess if you don’t know by now you should probably sit down. If you’re reading this, I’m gone. Either that or I am unable to work in the hospital, so I cannot delete this scheduled message. I really hope not.

“I don’t want to go into the reasons I left, but there are certainly more than thirteen. I programmed a note to send to my parents posthumously…. Even the simple act of posting this can hurt them. I don’t want to do this, I just want to leave my last mark on this world.

She concluded, “You have all made my life so much fuller, brighter and happier than it would have been without you. Your support, your encouragement, your hugs, your invitations, your smiles, your texts, you tag me in memes that you think I would find funny.

“None of you could have done anything – or done more – to prevent this from happening. You all did your best and for that I am eternally grateful to you. I hope you find some comfort in knowing that I am no longer in pain. I love you.”

Previous articles on Gourarie’s Instagram account referred to his struggle with anorexia and depression, while also defending mental health.
